Any public statement by Bhutto? When did he give the infamous speech, "We will eat grass but have nuclear weapon."

Pakistan always wanted nuclear weapons. It's the ultimate equalizer for them. They just needed the right time to do it. India's nuclear test in 1974 sealed the deal and India's nuclear test in late 1990s made it easier for Pakistan to do the same. And here we are.

The real credit of nuclear program goes to Munir ahmed khan.Bhutto was a SOB who caused Bangladesh tragedy and start islamization of country and destroyed constitution when the hypocrite was himself a wine drinker.Another feudal lord filthy nation destroyer.Now his third generation is fuckking a country.There is a reason why revolutions happen and why all family members are killed to get rid from the menace forever.

Not true. In 1971 Nixon made it categorically clear that if India took over West Pakistan, a Cento country - USA will intervene.

Absolutely agree with you.
Considering our geo political location and situation we need a deterrent for our long term survival.Bhutto just happened to be the PM when that program starts and Nawaz sharif was luckily a PM when blasts were undertaken.Both try to take credit but in reality the real credit goes to military planners and scientists and on top of that the hardworking people of pakistan whose tax money funded this great achievement.

Well - the idea for setting up the nuclear programme was discussed many times before 1971 but it was implement after the 1971 specially after the first indian nuclear test. Read this below-

''Munir Ahmed Khan (Who was as head of IAEA's Reactor Division) had his first meeting with Bhutto in October 1965 in Vienna and asked him to inform the Pakistan government about the quick advancement and advanced status of the Indian nuclear programme; many options were drawn out by Munir Khan to Bhutto for Pakistan to acquire its own nuclear deterrence capability. As Bhutto sensed the importance of the issue, he arranged Munir's private meeting with President Ayub Khan on 11 December 1965, at the Dorchester Hotel in London. Without wasting time, Munir Khan asked President Ayub Khan to pursue the nuclear deterrent against the India's armed nuclear threat. While President Ayub Khan patiently listened to Munir Khan's offer, which according to Munir Khan, was available free of safeguards and at an affordable cost from international supplier states, the President swiftly dismissed the offer since he believed that Pakistan "was too poor to spend" so much money and ended the meeting that if needed, Pakistan would "somehow buy it off the shelf".

nothing was diffrent GHQ learnt very badly a lesson and they memorize it even today . when USA cry we play double games they forget that we trusted them and they betreated us in 1971 . i am glad our military planners never trust USA again . do you remember how many weapons USA offer us for not testing nukes ? pakistan refused . back then wound was new and paksitan went more to eastern nations sir.
