Maryam eulogises Nawaz Sharif for making Pakistan nuclear power
Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz chief organizer Maryam Nawaz on Sunday said Nawaz Sharif carried out nuclear explosions despite world pressure, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.
Addressing a PML-N rally in Lahore to celebrate the Youm-e-Takbeer, which marks the historic day when Pakistan conducted successful nuclear tests in the hills of Chaghai 25 years ago, Maryam Nawaz congratulated the 25th Takbeer Day to the nation.
She nodded salutations to the architects of the nuclear program Nawaz Sharif and Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz expressed gratitude to the Pakistan Army for defending the country’s nuclear program.
Maryam also thanked other law enforcement agencies and the politicians, scientists, and engineers who played crucial roles in Pakistan’s nuclear program.
She paid tribute to the “historic courage” of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. She said the PML-N supremo proved to be a lion-heart in difficult times.
She added that Nawaz Sharif carried out six nuclear blasts in response to India’s five in 1998. “India cannot think of carrying out a major attack against Pakistan.”
PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz said that the events of May 9 and May 28, 1998, exhibit the difference between leadership.
She said: “Every citizen gave thanks the day Pakistan became a nuclear power … and what happened on May 9? Every Pakistani’s head lowered because of shame.
“Pakistan saw those scenes on May 9 which we only saw in Afghanistan or terrorist-ridden countries.”
She castigated Imran Khan for his ‘weak response’ to India’s “occupation” of Kashmir too. She also lashed out at the PTI chairman for allegedly attacking the army to weaken it.
Maryam Nawaz, while mocking Imran Khan's party over its leaders' mass departure, said that there were ques of those quitting the party. "How will the people stand when the leader himself is a jackal?" she said while ridiculing Imran Khan. “Imran Khan was sending a message to the world to help him out,” she added.
She lambasted PTI chief Imran Khan saying that they have burned down the country and now asking why their supporter are booked in the violence cases. She warned that if they carry out terrorism cases will registered against them.
Maryam Nawaz said that Imran Khan has ruined the youth and incited them to spread violence. Now their Parents are facing terrorism cases while their sons are enjoying their life abroad.
The event participants also raised slogans in favor of the Pakistan Army and Nawaz Sharif.
She said Nawaz Sharif carried out the nuclear explosions despite an offer of bribe of billions of dollars and threats.
A special audio message from Nawaz Sharif was also aired during the ceremony.
In his audio message, Nawaz Sharif congratulated the nation on Takbeer Day. He said the people of Pakistan will continue to hate May 9 and love May 28. "May 9 and May 28 are two different symbols that will always remain,” he added.
He said that the people of the country will always hate May 9 mayhem and love May 28 — a reference to the events when violent protests broke out following Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s arrest and Pakistan became the nuclear-armed country, respectively.
Nawaz Sharif said despite the pressure of international powers he went ahead with his decision of conducting nuclear tests in 1998 as prime minister of the country.
As soon as India made nuclear explosions, we retaliated in the same coin, Nawaz Sharif said added that Pakistan emerged as the seventh nuclear power in the world and became a living reality.
“We don’t have any aggressive intentions against anyone but we cannot allow anyone to have ill intentions against Pakistan,” he added
He also slammed his ouster from power in 2017 saying that all those elements who conspired against him had been exposed.
These people (PTI) do not know what enmity they have with the country, what they get by spoiling the country, Nawaz Sharif lamented.
