Pakistan government has announced a public holiday on May 28 (Wednesday) to mark the historic day, ‘Youm-e-Takbeer’, when Pakistan became an atomic power.
‘Youm-e-Takbeer’ is a reminder of the country’s unshakeable commitment to its defense and sovereignty.
As a result, Pakistan became the first nuclear power in the Muslim world and seventh in the world.
In December 2024, the Pakistan government added May 28 as a public holiday in a calender of public holidays in 2025.
