Does Imran Khan deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

[Bewal Express]

It is the top twitter trend in PK. IK has helped to bring the chance of peace in Afghanistan, opened the Khartpour corridor so that the Sikhs can visit the birth place of Guru Nanak and have helped to calm a very tense situation between 2 Nuclear powers despite the attack and continued goading from Ind.

 

[minamino]

How a peace deal between the terrorists and US is a good thing and worthy of peace prize? How do you know that it will bring peace to Afghanistan when they have already killed 10000s of Afghans?

As the 2 protagonists are happy and IK helped them to come together, what business have you got in interfering. And I am also talking about the corridor and his great leadership in the Kashmir crisis.

Because I have got a lot of Afghan friends, especially The Shias and Hazaras who are worried about their families back home after this 'peace' deal.

Yes it does to be fair. However, it wouldn’t be a huge achievement for IK imo considering all the bad people who have won it before him.

We may think that but the World rates this prize and its they ultimately that decide what is important. It would give PK a voice which we would have never had before.

But we have real achievements, the corridor will outlive all of us.

He also contributed to cooling of tensions between US and Iran.

In addition, he has played an important role in Afghanistan, Kartarpur, and the entire Abhinandam fiasco preventing a nuclear war. Comparatively, there are very few other world leaders off the top of my head who have done anything of significance in the quest for global peace in 2019-2020. My question to everyone on this thread is, if not him then who?

You seriously believe there would have been a nuclear war if Pakistan didn't release our pilot? )

 

[Mamoon]

He will not get it because the world knows that he is just a puppet PM and the real power in Pakistan is still the military establishment.

They are behind the Afghanistan peace talks as well as the Kartarpur Corridor. The aim is not to broker peace, but to serve their own interests.

They played a prominent role in the U.S. - Taliban talks because they have always been Pentagon’s mercenaries, and the U.S. bribed them with a military training program and the clearance for killing anti-Pakistan elements in Afghanistan.

If the civilian government had the power to mediate the peace talks, they would have pushed for an economic package and relief from the bullying of IMF and FATF.

As far as Kartarpur Corridor is concerned, it is primarily concerned, it is purely designed to instigate anti-India rhetoric within the Sikh community and flog the dead horse that is the Khalistan Movement.

Hence, Imran Khan will not get a Nobel Peace Prize because the world can see through our facade.

Don't think it's nice to label a token of goodwill as something like that. Yes, they may have some interior motives but I'd rather take their goodwill gesture in the right spirit on behalf of our Sikh brothers.

She was more worthy than Obama, and deserved it for fighting for democracy through peaceful means.

 

[IAJ]

There is no doubt, he deserves it!

But I don’t think it will happen. I have some information I can’t share here. But to give to Pakistan and not to India also at same time seems impossible. And we all know that Modi has no chance. So it wont happen I am afraid.

 

[DRsohail]

He deserves it. Imagine NS in charge and going to Doha for this [MENTION=1269]Bewal Express[/MENTION]......What a pathetic personality he was . Khan has made a huge difference.

[proud_pakistani]

To be honest I cant see anyone else who has done more than Imran Khan in terms of the peace efforts.

1 - Kartarpur

2 - Taliban USA peace deal

3 - Giving Abhinandan a free pass to leave Pakistan

4 - Facilitating Iran and Saudi talks

5 - Kashmir speech in UN.

There hasnt been any one more at the fore front of peace keeping within the region.

He def deserves it, he has made a huge impact in just over a year. As far NS is concerned, its not even funny. The guy has no personality, can't read off a parchi and like his fascist friend across the border, would be a total embarrassment.

 

[Thomaskutty]

The OP thinks that a 'peace deal' that is solely for the benefit of the US govt and its troops is actually peace and something to celebrate. The truth is that the .. the afghans are going to suffer under this savage regime called the Taliban and the dark days of pre-2000 are back.

Anything that leads to less killing is something to celebrate,even if it is for a few months or years.

 

[IndianHero]

IK doesn't deserve nobel prize. He can't be blamed as well as every one in this planet know that he has to just read the script given to him.

Then why should he be given nobel prize ? This thread is created to mock him I guess lol..

Sorry nobel peace prize can't be given for these kind of reasons. Please check the list of nobel peace prize winners of the past & their achievements to get some good idea

Calm under pressure when attacked by fascist neighbour and bringing it to a quick end, Kartarpur Corridor- a historical achievement that will outlive all alive today, helping to ease tensions between Iran, Saudi and America and lastly, helping to bring the Taliban and America to the table and start to end the war in Afghanistan. I agree with you that by highlighting the imprisonment of millions of Kashmiris at the hands of fascists also deserves a special mention. So that makes it 5!

 

[Minnowbasher]

Forget about noble peace prize just give him the respect he deserves.
Hes fighting day and night for Pakistan yet all he gets is hate.
Yes the economy isnt in the place of should be but Imrans critics haven't been able to answer the simple question: why is the economy in such a position? Or what else can he do about it other than the steps he has taken?
On topic he has campaigned for peace more than any other leader so I suppose he does deserve it.

If IK deserves the Nobel for the Afghanistan-US peace deal then the driving force behind the deal, Donald Trump deserves it a 1,000 to mes more.

Bush started the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Obama was part of the group that started the Syria, Ukraine, Libya and Yemen wars.

Trump hasn’t started any new wars, and has got the US out of Syria and is close to ending the Afghanistan war. If the Nobel prize wasn’t a joke he would have got it yesterday.

Going by your post, if Imran does end up winning the Nobel Peace Award then you would concede that Imran and Pakistan’s narrative has had a worldwide reach and acknowledgment? After all as your post suggested the awarding committee has the best unbiased views on world politics and does not simply see it through like tinted PTI glasses like as you say his cult followers do.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

I guess then Modi must be front runner for it.

Well obviously.

 

[KingKhanWC]

No

He deserves a lot more, God willing paradise.

We as Pakistanis dont need world recognistion for his peace mind and peaceful policies. Esp with an award given to war criminals.

 

[warcry]

No

he hasnt started enough wars and bombed enough civilians.

thats why obama is a peace prize winner and IK is ineligible.

 

[Pakistanian]

who cares about this garbage award

 

[Bewal Express]

People that win the prize have a much higher world public profile. PR matters in the modern world

 

[globalcitizen]

No responsible leader will instigate people in another country to turn against each other and lead to more unrest.. Referring to recent tweets during Delhi violence.

Kartarpur corridor was possible because of both governments agreeing. It’s not like Indian government did not agree.
Us taliban deal credit goes to trump. But again all they are doing is evacuating and delegating to neighbouring countries
Kashmir speech was ok but again we know the reason for that speech. But why not speak same about Uighur muslims. Oh ya he does not even know about it

But again don’t mind if he gets Nobel prize

[Waleed93]

Yes, he deserves it, especially after opening the Kartarpur Corridor, which will allow our Sikh friends from across the border to come to Pakistan and fulfil their religious duties, despite the ongoing tensions between Pakistan and India.

That was a great gesture from him, where he proved to be a bigger man than Modi for the second time, after releasing Abhinandan two days after capturing him, which helped cool down the situation in February 2019.

PS : It is a matter of shame that the great man Edhi Sahab didn't win it during his lifetime. The greatest Pakistani to have ever lived since Quaid-e-Azam himself.

The Kartarpur corridor whatever the reasons might be want get into that but on surface was a good gesture but seriously do you think that is worthy of a Nobel Prize?

Even that move has been negated by the handling of the Asia Bibi case especially with her being a Christian and the news about atrocities on Hindu Girls. Obviously none of these are Imran's faults but he is in a position to 100% resolve them?

As far as Abhinandan capture and release goes apart from PTI and may be the army narrative every one knows there were external pressures.

In What significant world event is Imran a major player?

It is good some of you think Imran is good for your country, good for you, I am not going to abuse or call him names like people do here for the PM of India but a Nobel Prize is a stretch

Lol. You’re looking at it in the opposite way.

The Asia Bibi case actually strengthened Imran’s case as he was the one who let her out. Before that she was in jail for years.

So how is the Asia Bibi case bad for Imran Khan?

Also, Abhi-none-done was let out. That is the main point.
Imran didn’t have to release him if he didn’t have to.
All this “he was pressured” is just B-S made by Hindutva goons to cover up for their mistakes, put it next to the F16 shot down and the “Shahzaz” pilot getting killed by a mob

 

[Ronaldo7]

Well it could be said the same for Pakistan, their Sikh’s could have revolted too. But goes to show that minorities in india have more rights than in Pakistan.

Why would the Pakistani sikhs revolt? )
They didn’t need to have a corridor to go to the Gurdwara.

Some of the points being made on this thread are actually LOL material

Asia Bibi spent almost a decade in jail before she managed to get out last year. The PMLN and PPP could have helped her, but they were too weak and busy looting the country to raise their voices against extremist Mullahs who tried their best to send her to the gallows.

Imran actually played a positive role in helping her and getting her out of the whole mess. The fact that she stayed in jail for 10 years without any proven reason is another proof of PMLN/PPP's imcompetence and cowardness, as Imran was not in power at that time.

As far as the Abhinandan episode is concerned, you can keep shifting the goal post. However, the fact of the matter is that the whole world knows what happened after his capture, and who came out as a bigger man between the 2 PMs of Pakistan and India. You just have to watch the headlines of international media reports to take a guess.
