CISS Special Issue on 25th Anniversary of Youm-E-Takbeer

CISS-PakistanBy CISS-Pakistan

The 28th day of May this year marked the 25th anniversary of Pakistan’s response to India’s resumption of nuclear weapons tests. India nuclearized South Asia by conducting its first nuclear test in 1974 and resumed testing in 1998. There are indications that India may again test thermonuclear weapons, increasing strategic instability in the region. The primary objective of Pakistan’s nuclear program has always been to establish a credible deterrent against any potential aggression from India that could threaten our territorial integrity and sovereignty. The destabilizing effect caused by India’s nuclear tests further reinforced the need for Pakistan to restore a state of mutual deterrence in the region. It is crucial to emphasize that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program has been primarily oriented toward defensive purposes.
