Nuclear Bombs Are Not Diwali Firecrackers

Time was passed quickly and the matters were presented to the Defense Committee of Cabinet (DCC). A good deal of things was to be finalized and a debate on the two aspects of the problem was started. It was also significant that PAKISTAN needed to plan economically for the likely sanctions from the USA and its allies. The fiscal situation and the defense preparations must be discussed before the atomic tests. The Nation filed a photograph of the third afternoon revealing Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan taking notes through a DCC meeting.

The exact same day it was reported from the local newspapers that US President Bill Clinton telephoned the PM Nawaz Sharif and said that the USA will enforce its own laws regarding nuclear explosions and they will envisage the sanctions in law. However, PM Nawaz Sharif took a bold step and made it quite clear to him that Pakistan has all the right to do anything is to ensure its security and we’ll take appropriate measures.
