Youm-e-Takbeer is a day of greatness when Pakistan already a responsible country was transformed into a strategically mature regional power.
It sensibly understood the management and liability of having nuclear weapons for security.
Acquisition of nuclear deterrence capability was also necessary to project Pakistan’s self-sufficiency in defense against any territorial threat. Pakistan’s nuclear tests made it clear that when it comes to national honor and survival, Pakistan would maintain a balance of power against its adversaries. Indian acquisition of nuclear weapons compelled Pakistan to build its nuclear muscle for improving national security, otherwise it had no intentions to do so. India’s covert pursuit of weapons of mass destruction had drastically heightened the security perception of Pakistan.
In all fairness, atomic programme of Pakistan initiated by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who in 1974 had summoned nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan from Holland and told him in plain words “Pakistan needs you”. Mr Bhutto had given the most important task to Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan and several others associated with the atomic programme to develop an atomic bomb in three years.
As stated above, Pakistan being a responsible atomic power and every succeeding civilian government ensuring foolproof security and safety of the country’s nuclear assets through an effective control and command system, the enemies inimical to the existence of Pakistan are quite effectively being kept at bay from indulging in any mischievous plans and aggressive postures against Pakistan.
Needless to mention here that a country makes steady progress and development only in a secure and safe atmosphere due to its strong defence system which is helping the government in continuing focusing on all spheres economically as well as socially. It is also generally said and believed that defence of any country and economic development are inter-related with each other. And, this is quite true in case of our beloved motherland Pakistan.
Pakistani nation will continue celebrating Youm-e-Takbir enthusiastically every year on May 28 as long as Pakistan exists on the world map for centuries together, Inshallah. Youm-e-Takbir Zindabad.Long Live Pakistan.
