Pakistan has no regrets on nuclear explosions and will not succumb to pressure: Nawaz

ISLAMABAD, July 18 (APP): Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Friday asserted not to accept any pressure as Pakistan has no regrets on its nuclear explosions. "But the nation must brace up to face economic sanctions bravely," he said while speaking at foundation stone-laying ceremony of Rs. 70 million, 40-bed kidney centre here. If someone deliberately wants to "punish us, we should show a brave face so that those slapping sanctions should realize their futility," said Nawaz Sharif in an upbeat mood. Pakistan, he said, is a nuclear power today, hence, noone can dare commit aggression against it. "Our defence has become impregnable after we acquired nuclear capability," said a confident Nawaz Sharif. The kidney centre, to be completed by July next year will be the first of 12 such centres, being built by the Labour Ministry across the country.
