I can still strike a deal with Musharraf: Nawaz Sharif
“I regretfully say that only one out of three services chiefs supported my decision on the nuclear blasts. This shocked and stunned me. Pakistan’s status as a nuclear power not only enhanced the country’s prestige in the world but also gave pride to the entire Muslim Ummah. The blasts stopped India from translating its dream of establishing its hegemony in South Asia to reality. It also helped the India-Pakistan peace process move forward,” Qadri quoted Nawaz as saying.
Nawaz regretted that Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan’s atomic bomb, was declared a criminal and a first information report was lodged against him by the military rulers. He (Nawaz) said that global powers were interfering in Pakistan’s internal affairs and its security was “under threat”.

Mr. Shariff whould have learned some democratic norms that if majority says NO then it means hold back.
Thanks for your comments. It can also be argued that probably majority of Pakistanis wanted him to conduct nuclear tests?
