Pakistan As An Atomic Power
India, our next door neighbour, demonstrated her power through nuclear tests and tried to dominate over the whole of Asia. In response to it, Pakistan also made seven successful tests of nuclear devices Chaghi on may 28, 1998. These tests reflected the nation's resolve to safeguard her sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The main target of Pakistani nuclear tests is to restore the balance of power in the subcontinent. After these tests, Pakistan has become the seventh nuclear recognised state in the world and the first in the Islamic block. Now, the whole world and Islamic block in particular look to Pakistan for the restoration of peace in Asia.
India is our worst enemy. She never misses any chance to harm Pakistan. She has attacked Pakistan twice. Now, after the nuclear tests, she has become very cautious. Its brightest point is the globalisation of Kashmir issue. The spirits of the Kashmiris have become even higher. Now India is well aware that the start of war with Pakistan will take the whole of India in its fold. The other world will also not remain safe. In this way, Kashmir has become the nuclear flash point in the subcontinent. Now, the international community realise fully that Kashmir issue is the root of all disturbance in the subcontinent. It must be resolved to bring peace in the area.
After the successful test of nuclear devices, Pakistan has become the first Islamic nuclear power in the world. These nuclear tests are not only those of Pakistan but of the whole of the Islamic world. Hence, the Islamic world calls this atom bomb the Islamic bomb. It is a swift safeguard of the whole Islamic world.
Pakistan has expressed solidarity with the Islamic countries and has promised to help them in the hour of need. Another blessing came to Pakistanis in the form sanctions on Pakistan by the western world. After these sanctions, the resolve of Pakistani nation to live within their means has been strengthened even more.
Pakistani nuclear devices are basically for peaceful purposes because Pakistan is a peaceful loving country. It does not want any clash with any of its neighbours. It has desired to get domination over the whole of Asia by becoming a superpower. Its sole aim is to restore the balance of power in Asia. Pakistan wants to achieve peaceful electricity, de-silting of dams and channelling of water to barren and dry lands . On the other hand, the Indian nuclear programme has hegemonic view. She wants to dominate the whole of region through it. It is because of Indian evil designs that the subcontinent has become a nuclear war zone.
The Pakistanis know that real strength of a nation lies in economic and scientific progress. It was peace in the area. It was congential relation with others. Like India, it is also among the poor countries where majority of people are deprived of the facilities of education, health and proper nutrition. It cannot afford the race of costly nuclear weapons. Hence it wants to resolve the Kashmir dispute through negotiations. It aims at using its nuclear power to bring prosperity to its people. All these nuclear tests are the result of the saying:
' If you want peace, be prepared for war.'
