| By Zahid Malik A glorious day in the history of the country, May 28 passed off without any major event to celebrate the singular achievement of a nuclear power status by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. For reasons unknown, there has been a gradual and slow phasing out of the observance of the Day, when the tests were conducted on this memorable day in 1998 which thrilled the nation and it burst into joy with the slogans of Allah-o-Akbar and Pakistan Zindabad. The nuclear tests that changed the colour of now famous Chaghai Mountains were indeed in response to Indian blasts in May 1998 and earlier in 1974. I vividly remember the day when Dr A.Q. Khan, father of Pakistan's nuclear programme, last time visited the Chaghai test site, inspected the tunnel and arrangements after performing ablution with Aab-e-Zam Zam and gave a go ahead signal. Then followed the cherished nuclear tests on 28th May, 1998 prompting countrywide jubilations, distribution of sweets and offering of thanksgiving prayers. While the morale of the nation went sky-high and people in Islamic countries rejoiced it as their own achievement, others were in a state of shock as they did not expect Pakistan, a developing country, to master the world's most advanced and complicated technology in such a short period of time. For them, it was an unforgivable act of gatecrashing into the otherwise elite nuclear club by an impoverished Islamic State and that is why they continue to malign the country on this account on different pretexts on various occasions. |
