Lahore, Karachi: (Dunya News) - On the occasion of Youm-e-Takbeer, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, and other political figures extended congratulations to the nation.

Nawaz Sharif

On the social media platform "X", PML-N President and former Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif congratulated the nation on Youm-e-Takbeer.

He said, "No one can look at Pakistan with ill intent. On this day, Allah granted the nation a great victory. May Allah protect Pakistan."

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari paid tribute to the scientists, engineers, armed forces, and visionary political leadership who made Pakistan’s nuclear defense invincible.

He also paid homage to Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, saying that despite global pressure and opposition, Bhutto laid the foundation of the nuclear program. "Youm-e-Takbeer is not just a day of pride but a symbol of our nation’s unwavering resolve. We will never compromise on our sovereignty, dignity, or the protection of our future."

He added that this day reminds us that a united nation can overcome any challenge. "A nation led by visionary leadership, equipped with scientific excellence and brave armed forces, can shape its own destiny."

Bilawal said that it was Shaheed Bhutto’s foresight and unmatched courage that gave the dream of nuclear capability a concrete base. He added that Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, during her tenures, protected and advanced the nuclear program with wisdom and vision. “Our nuclear defense is a trust passed on by these martyrs and a symbol of their unparalleled sacrifices.”

He said, “Our nuclear defense is a strong shield for future generations. We must never forget the struggle and sacrifices behind it.”

Bilawal emphasised that the PPP has always stood — and will continue to stand — for a strong, self-reliant, and secure Pakistan, not only on military grounds but also in economy, democracy, and social justice.

He urged, “Let us on Youm-e-Takbeer renew our commitment to the dreams of our founding leaders. Let’s build a Pakistan that truly reflects peace, progress, and the hopes of its people.”

He said that Youm-e-Takbeer is a day to pay tribute to those who made the country’s defense invincible. “Pakistan’s nuclear capability is a guarantee of power balance in the region.”

He added, “The nuclear tests sent a clear message to enemy forces. Our armed forces and nuclear scientists made history. Youm-e-Takbeer teaches us the lesson of selfless service for national integrity.”

Bugti said that Balochistan has always rejected anti-army propaganda, and Pakistan’s historic victory against India is a triumph for the entire nation and the Muslim Ummah.

She called May 28 a golden and historic day in Pakistan’s history. She said Nawaz Sharif made Pakistan a nuclear power by conducting nuclear tests on this day. “Nawaz Sharif had clearly said 'Absolutely Not' to U.S. offers.”

She added that Nawaz Sharif prioritized national sovereignty over global pressure and sanctions. “He made Pakistan’s defense invincible. Today, our armed forces are superior to the enemy. India will never forget May 28 and May 10 — one brother shattered India’s pride, and the other made India bite the dust.”
