Addressing the rallies, Jammu Kashmir United Movement President Sardar Babar Hussain, General Secretary Engineer Kashif Jamil, President Jammu Kashmir United Students Federation Abdullah Shafiq, and central leader Sardar Rizwan Hanif said that May 28, 1998, stands as a golden chapter in Pakistan’s history when a clear message was given to the enemies of Islam that this nation will neither bow down nor be sold.
Youm-e-Takbeer
They said that Youm-e-Takbeer was not only a memorial of Pakistan’s nuclear capability but also a day reflecting the determination, courage and perseverance of the oppressed Kashmiri people.
The leadership reiterated the resolve that the Jammu Kashmir United Movement will never compromise on national pride, sovereignty, and Islamic ideology and will continue its political and public struggle until the establishment of an Islamic, dignified and independent state in the region.
Central leader Sardar Rizwan Hanif said that “May 28 was not just a date, but a day of victory for ideology.
“These nuclear explosions became hope for the oppressed and a warning to the enemy. We pay tribute to the architects, scientists, leaders and martyrs of the nuclear program.”
