Pasban President Altaf Shakoor has welcomed the announcement of Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani to possibly buy nuclear plant and satellite communication system to meet the country's energy needs and termed it a historical and bold decision.
Talking to the senior office-bearers of Pasban Karachi chapter at Adamjee Nagar here on Sunday, Altaf Shakoor called upon the government to get nuclear plant at all costs and take decisions according to the wishes of nation and without any foreign pressure.
"The nuclear power plant is must for the progress and prosperity of the country. The members of Atomic Club had amended the constitution for getting nuclear energy with the support of their nations, therefore; Pakistan should also boost its image of responsible nuclear state, he said.
Altaf Shakoor said that the country was in grip of severe power crisis that could further increase in the near future, so the only solution to steer the country out of power crisis was to buy nuclear energy instead of constructing controversial dams.
