Youm-e-Takbir is a day to commemorate with zeal and passion the historic nuclear tests at Chagai on May 28, 1998. Prime Minister of Pakistan and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shehbaz Sharif has vowed to turn the nation’s nuclear power into an economic power.

Today in 1998, PM Nawaz Sharif rejected pressures & inducements in a bold show of leadership & made Pakistan nuclear power of the world. Now we are resolved to turn it into an economic power. My gratitude to all those who helped make our defense invincible.

Youm-e-Takbir Mubarak

The Prime Minister added that 24 years ago, on May 28, Pakistan became the first nuclear power in the Islamic world which was possible because Nawaz Sharif brought it to completion. He also thanked all those who played part in making the defence invincible.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting also released a national anthem in this regard, which aims to highlight the significance of this day. Whereas Prime Minister had already announced ten days of celebrations on the completion of 24 years of nuclear tests.
