If it were about the 'money' then India and several other observer countries like them, with plenty in the kitty, would not have a pending status on their application. Pakistan has beaten many to it and on merit.
We paid with blood, sweat and tears to get here. A nation that wanted to get here even if it meant eating grass cannot be a pushover. I must pay homage to our nuclear scientists who created a nuclear industry when 60% of our population was still traveling by horse carts. Without the knowledge, expertise and industrial base they created for our westernization program we wouldn't have gotten here. I hope that Pakistan will remain a responsible nuclear power and a progressive partisan in global quest for nuclear science and theoretical/applied physics.
