Is Pakistan should sign Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?
The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is a treaty to limit the spread (proliferation) of nuclear weapons. The treaty came into force on 5 March 1970, and currently there are 189 states party to the treaty, five of which are recognized as nuclear weapon states: United States, Russia, United Kingdom, France & China (also the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council).
The NPT recognize the right to peacefully use of nuclear technology.
Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) will lift the ban on Nuclear Trade with Pakistan; Pakistan can easily get any support from Nuclear Suppliers Group to build Nuclear Power Plants.

Article IV: 1. Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with Articles I and II of this Treaty.
(All the Parties to the Treaty undertake to facilitate, and have the right to participate in, the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials and scientific and technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
Parties to the Treaty in a position to do so shall also co-operate in contributing alone or together with other States or international organizations to the further development of the applications of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, especially in the territories of non-nuclear-weapon States Party to the Treaty, with due consideration for the needs of the developing areas of the world)
