Resolution submitted in NA calling for Prime Minister Khan to be awarded Nobel Peace Prize
Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry submitted a resolution in the National Assembly (NA) Secretariat calling for Prime Minister Imran Khan to be given the Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution towards peace in the region, Radio Pakistan reported on Saturday.
As per the resolution, the premier played a "sagacious role in de-escalating tension between Pakistan and India which was created due to the war mongering attitude of Indian leadership."
As Pakistan prepared to free captured Indian pilot Abhinandan on Friday, the hashtag '#NobelPeacePrizeForImranKhan' was trending in the country on Twitter.
More than 300,000 people have signed online petitions calling for the premier to receive a Nobel Peace Prize.
On Thursday, after Prime Minister Imran Khan announced that Pakistan would release Indian Air Force officer Wing Commander Abhinandan — who was captured by Pakistan after his MiG 21 Bison aircraft was shot down by a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jet — as a peace gesture, Twitterati from both sides of the eastern border heaped praise on the premier.
According to Radio Pakistan, the resolution submitted by Chaudhry noted that the "aggression manifested by the Indian leadership" had brought the two nuclear-armed states to the "brink of war, endangering the lives of tens of millions of people on both sides of the border".
Due to the "proactive and deft handling" of the situation by Prime Minister Khan, the resolution stated, that the situation had been averted.

PM Imran khan deserve this just wondering when Modi will be tried in court and jailed for committing genocide in Gujrat and he was even banned from entering the usa and EU because of his designated terrorist status
Yes, if Barak Hussain Obama can win a Nobel Peace Prize, why not Imran Khan?
That would be much deserving. PMIK is peace promoter.
I agree
While it seems well deserving, is it really the need of the hour? Shouldn't we be focusing on the bigger picture in the National Assembly at this time?
Steady on. Yes, it’s good that our government decided to release the pilot but seriously!!!!!!
Imran Khan truly deserves this for his mature handling of the tense situation. Some said Pakistan's PR was better than India but I feel the intention of Mr. Khan were genuine and honest. He sincerely wants to de escalate the tension and make peace with India.
Yes, I fully support well deserved 'Nobal Peace Award' for PM Imran Khan for sincere efforts to defuse the war situation. What award will you give to Modi for creating nuclear flash point between the two nuclear countries? (ACP - Gharib Awam ki Awaz).
My vote to imran Khan
He should be given Nobel prize
Only Pakistan has to award it.
Winning a Nobel Prize is not quite that easy. Nevertheless if our prime minister can keep up the good work for another four years it might happen.
I nominated PM Imran Khan first for Noble peace price.
I like to nominate PM Imran Khan for Nobel Peace Prize.
Well done IK.
Nobil price for PM Imran Khan
Yes. He deserves it more than Mr. Obama.
Fawad Chaudhry don't spoil IK good intended efforts. Let him focus on the job. Recognition can come later.
@Saleem khan, get your spellings right !
@Tariq Abbasi, absolutely
He deserves it most by averting a catastrophic conflict, between two nuclear armed adversaries, in the making through his timely show of his commendable statesmanship and smartness.
Sure he deserve this after the peace initiative's. He shown his maturity in these crisis. It says, Leaders are known best when there are tests.
Salam Sir: Agreed. Good suggestion. With the same token, in my own view, we should have attended OIC meeting. No point in leaving out the turf to one team only!
Yes
The info. minister is impatient. PM has just started his peace efforts, let the world nominate him for the award. You are a party member and being biased. Be patient, let PM's effort bring some fruit then the world will recognize him. Not everything needs to be part of publicity all the time.
Wow! It shall be a great honour for Pakistan even if our Prime Minister is nominated for noble prize. Of course he is not only PTI's PM. Political differences to be set aside, we must support and pray for this honour for our country. The PM is going very well towards progress & prosperity of our country. In fact all powerhouses of this country are supporting him on daily basis. So it's likely that he would prosper in his endeavours.
Great step to recognize a selfless person, PM IK. Hopefully, he will be able to bring Pakistan back among the honorable countries.
We all must help him to recover our looted wealth and eradicate corruption. Sincerely
@Shan Kazmi, well said. Though not fond of PTI or others, seeing a very positive reaction here, of PM ludabable step to avert a situation fraught with all possibilities of getting out of hand and ending at catastrophic outcome for our country, which is commendable, I, wholeheartedly, wish him success in his present endeavor.
