ISLAMABAD: The nation is fervently celebrating Youm-e-Takbeer on Tuesday (today), marking the historic day when Pakistan successfully conducted nuclear tests at the Ras Koh hills in the Chaghai District of Balochistan 26 years ago.<\/p>\n
In 1998, Pakistan successfully retaliated against nuclear tests conducted by India by acquiring nuclear weapons, making it the first Islamic nation and the eighth nation overall.<\/p>\n
The nuclear tests not only demonstrated Pakistan’s resolve to safeguard the country’s territorial integrity, independence, and sovereignty but also the desire to preserve strategic balance in South Asia.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Acting President Yusuf Raza Gilani, and services chiefs congratulated the people of Pakistan on the occasion of Youm-e-Takbeer.<\/p>\n
