Pakistan became the first and only Muslim country to become a nuclear power after conducting nuclear tests at Chaghai in Balochistan on 28th May, 1998 as a response to India’s nuclear bomb tests on 11th and 13th May of the same year at Pokhran in Rajhasthan state of India.
Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif was the Prime Minister of Pakistan at that time, who demonstrated the political will of the leadership and opt for nuclear tests despite immense pressure and warnings from the US and other major world powers urging him to avoid the tests.
Rallies, seminars and functions will be organized to celebrate the occasion today.
Special prayers were offered in the morning today for the progress and prosperity of Pakistan, supremacy of the constitution, and eradication of terrorism.
