An online petition was filed with the Norwegian Nobel Committee for the nomination of Khan for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2020
India Pakistan Conflict: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Monday he wasn’t worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, after a motion was submitted in Pakistan’s top National Assembly Secretariat calling for him to be awarded the coveted prize for his role in “de-escalating” tensions between India and Islamabad. An online petition was filed with the Norwegian Nobel Committee for the nomination of Khan for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2020 for “his peace efforts and dialogues in the Asian region on diverse conflicts (Pakistan-India, Afghanistan-US, Middle East).
“His (Khan’s) contributions deserve the international recognition with the Nobel, his aims of ensuring lasting peace in the region and discouraging revival of militarism should be recognized and greatly appreciated,” read the online petition on website Change.org.I am not worthy of the Nobel Peace prize. The person worthy of this would be the one who solves the Kashmir dispute according to the wishes of the Kashmiri people and paves the way for peace & human development in the subcontinent.
The cricketer-turned-politician tweeted, “The person worthy of this would be the one who solves the Kashmir dispute according to the wishes of the Kashmiri people and paves the way for peace and human development in the subcontinent.” Tensions escalated between India and Pakistan after the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing that killed 40 CRPF troopers in Jammu and Kasmir’s Pulwama on February 14.
