Nuclear Power Race

    August 6, 1945 and August 9, 1945 are two dates that will continue to point to a world that is endangered by nuclear weapons. The United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, and Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9. To this day, Hiroshima and Nagasaki provide evidence of how the atomic bomb can destroy humanity. Even after 76 years, the people there have not been able to recover from the effects of the nuclear attack. Despite witnessing this catastrophe, the nine countries of the world still have more than 18,000 nuclear weapons. I saw it 76 years ago. World Atomic Bomb and Nuclear Test Day is celebrated around the world every year on August 29. The purpose of this day is to draw people's attention to the damage done to the people and the environment by decades of nuclear tests. Despite being a symbol of terror and the deadliest for human lives, the nuclear powers not only do not intend to destroy their weapons, but they are also trying to outdo each other by increasing their intensity.

    Only two major countries possess more than 90% of the world's nuclear weapons, including Russia with 7,500 and the United States with 7,200. At present, the total number of nuclear warheads is about 2,000, which countries with nuclear technology are in full readiness for use at any given time, and about 1,800 of them can be launched at a few moments' notice. There are serious threats to world peace. According to statistics, Russia has 7,500 nuclear warheads installed to meet its defense needs, while the United States has 7,200 nuclear weapons. In third place are France with 300, China with 290, England with 200, Pakistan with 150 and India with 140. Israel has built 80 to 90 bombs, while North Korea is estimated to have built 20 to 30 nuclear bombs. It is noteworthy that there are 8 nuclear powers in the world, but Israel has not conducted any nuclear test, but it is also a country with full nuclear capability. Many steps have been taken globally to curb the growing number of nuclear weapons, but more needs to be done. Pakistan, playing a positive and exemplary role in nuclear disarmament, has on several occasions offered bilateral nuclear non-proliferation treaty to neighboring India, aimed at promoting peace and stability in the region. ۔

    

    Pakistan's position on nuclear weapons is that it believes in the minimum deterrence that is essential to its defense. He said that illiteracy should be eradicated from the country, best medical facilities should be provided to all citizens and clean drinking water should be ensured to them. Pakistan is against the conventional or nuclear arms race. It has always maintained that there should be no arms race in the region and that disputes should be resolved through dialogue. The validity of Pakistan's position can be gauged from the fact that it did not take the initiative in launching a nuclear program. It was India that launched the nuclear program long ago Launches nuclear program to make its defenses invincible Despite the success of the program, it did not detonate a nuclear device, but when India declared itself a nuclear power through nuclear detonation, then Pakistan also conducted successful tests but nuclear Immediately after the bombings, India offered that the two countries sign the CTBT at the same time and agree not to conduct further nuclear tests, but India did not respond positively to Pakistan's offer.

    Undoubtedly, Pakistan reiterated this offer and decided in the right direction, as it is essential for peace and stability in the region that it be kept free from the nuclear arms race and that the countries concerned devote most of their resources to improving the economic condition of their people. Just make it. But unfortunately, India has the specter of becoming a regional police chief and has nothing to do with improving the economic conditions of its people. It is constantly stockpiling weapons and increasing its defense budget. India must also pay attention to the peace and prosperity of the region, and remember that the stockpile of nuclear weapons could not give economic stability to the Soviet Union. It is imperative that all nuclear nations reduce their nuclear arsenals and use their resources and capabilities to fight global peace, public health and the United Nations to eradicate poverty and inflation instead of war, so that the world can benefit every human being. Bring happiness and prosperity.
