One who solves Kashmir dispute according to the wishes of the people deserves Nobel, not me, says Imran Khan
Prime Minister of Imran Khan on Monday said that he doesn’t deserve a Nobel Prize but the person who solves the Kashmir dispute according to the wishes of the Kashmir people deserves one.
In a tweet, Khan said:
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.

A motion was submitted in Pakistan’s National Assembly Secretariat on Saturday calling for Prime Minister Imran Khan to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in “de-escalating” tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad.
The motion, submitted by Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry, stated that the Indian leadership’s “war hysteria” and “aggression” caused tensions between the two nuclear-armed countries and brought them on the brink of war.’
“Imran Khan expertly diverted the situation towards peace, the motion further said. PM Imran should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts towards peace,” it added.
