KARACHI - A large number of activists of Pakistan Muslim league (Nawaz) observed Youm-e-Takbeer as Pakistan completed 13 years as a nuclear power on Saturday. The day was celebrated at PML-N House with a solemn pledge to make Pakistan a stronger country militarily and economically. On the 13th Youm-e-Takbeer, rallies were taken out across the city. Addressing the participants, the PML-N leader Ghous Ali Shah said Pakistan became the first Muslim nation and the seventh nation in the world to acquire nuclear capability when it tested its first atomic bomb on May 28, 1998. PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif was lauded by his own party men at a seminar organised at PML-N House. The leader termed May 28 a historic day when Nawaz, rejecting pressure from all over the world, ordered conducting six atomic tests to give a befitting reply to India, which had conducted five atomic tests to pressurise Pakistan. Mamnon Hussain said that the atomic bombs not only made the defence of the country unconquerable but were also a gift for the whole Islamic World. He added, Due to the nuclear capability of the country, our neighbour fears casting a bad eye towards Pakistan. He further added that the PML-N chief proved to be a patriot due to whom he had to pay a heavy price and spent seven years in exile along with his family. Saleem Zia said that the Pakistan was a peace-loving country but the enemy should not underestimate its defence capabilities adding that Pakistan was passing through a difficult time owing to US intervention in its affairs and drone attacks were being carried out on innocent people. He informed that the country needs a bold and undaunted leadership, which knows how to protect its interests. He added that the Pakistan has lost much in the war against terror, as rulers have not been able to make brave decisions in the countrys interests. Syed Hafeez Uddin elaborate that in the present day world, weaker nations did not have any say. He said that Nawaz, by ordering to conduct atomic tests to counter India, infused a new spirit, bravery and courage in the nation but subsequent rulers made the nation highly demoralized by selling the countrys interests to America. He added that the there is still a point of return and if the nation decides to stand up, the evil designs of the countrys enemies could be eliminated.
