Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif addresses the groundbreaking ceremony of Greater Karachi Bulk Water Supply Scheme on May 26, 2023. The nation is fervently celebrating Youm-e-Takbeer today (Sunday), which is a historic day when the country conducted successful nuclear tests in the hills of Chaghai 25 years ago. With the tests, Pakistan became the seventh nuclear-armed country in the world and the first in the Islamic world, reinforcing its writ in the region and restoring the balance of power. Youm-e-Takbeer is considered a red-letter day in Pakistan’s history which ensured invincible defence capabilities and regional stability through power equilibrium. Congratulating the nation for being a nuclear-armed country, he said that Pakistan conducted the nuclear tests in response to India's declaration of possessing atomic warheads.
