The events that made Pakistan nuclear power

[dexter]

This is the story of the famous nuclear tests conducted by Pakistan in 1998. First India conducted nuclear tests in Pokhran and then Indian PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee sought membership of the Atomic Club. But the Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif was under great pressure from the US president Bill Clinton. Benazir Bhutto and Imran Khan were also in favor of the blasts. Yet there were threats of sanctions against Pakistan. A plane hijacking also threatened the nuclear tests. Yet Nawaz Sharif stood his ground and Pakistan conducted nuclear blasts in Chagai district of Balochistan.

TBH, I salute NS for this single good deed he did in his entire tenure. Even though he did it due to extreme internal pressure but at least he did it instead of bowing to outside pressure.

Sorry, he would have been sidelined if he had taken a decision otherwise ... Do you think a decision like this is under control of a single person? These are decisions of state and state have many stakeholders including, military, intelligence agencies, foreign office, bureaucrats, opposition, parliament ...

Most importantly it was immense pressure from people of Pakistan ... you can't find a single person (excluding mombati mafia) talking against the tests ... Just like there is no dispute ever on Kashmir issue even with the minorities similarly there was not an iota of difference among masses on the test ...

All of them were on same page except for NS ... Even NS own cabinet was in favor of tests ... So how could he not do it ? He tried alot to convince people otherwise but he did it when there was no other option ... Not doing test would have cost him his sit at minimum ...

then you are saluting the wrong person.

Go and check the documentaries of what he did when he went to meet Clinton, during the time of Kargil...
And you'll want to beat him up if you came across him.
