Former PM Imran Khan nominated for Nobel Peace prize

The Nobel Institute has rejected claims of Imran Khan’s nomination for the Nobel Prize, calling it a tactic to gain votes from Pakistanis in Norway.
Nobel Institute director Kristian Berg Harpviken stated in a Norwegian newspaper that the announcement aimed to influence Pakistani voters.
He noted this is the first time a leader has mis-used a nomination in a way that har-ms the prize’s prestige.
Fal-se claims about Nobel nominations can mis-lead the public and unde-rmine the credibility of real nominees and laureates.

Bro he should never have got into politics. He should have become Pakistan's coach.
I think he was afraid of just becoming some old grandad nobody from a global standpoint outside of the game, the way you see guys like Viv and Botham today. Guys who are well respected and do their fair share here and there to serve cricket. He obviously wanted to keep going and do more and more. A bit like Icarus, he just flew too close to the sun.
 
@psyoptica @Bewal Express @YousafTheBeast fake news as usual. If he had won it would he have received it in jail? @Rana @Slim

The Nobel Institute has rejected claims that former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, describing the reports as a political maneuver.

In a statement published in a leading Norwegian newspaper, the institute’s director, Kristian Berg Harpviken, expressed serious concerns over the claims, which he argued were intended to influence Pakistani voters in Norway ahead of elections.

Harpviken stated that it was the first time a political leader's nomination had been used in such a manner, which he believes could undermine the credibility of the Nobel Prize.

The controversy began after Norway's Centre Party announced Khan's nomination, a move that sparked mixed reactions from various groups. The Nobel Institute clarified that the nomination and selection process for the Peace Prize follows a stringent protocol and should not be used for political gain.

Very good analogy. The thing about him is he was very self-centred, so much so he walked out of his family life. He couldn't even hide it after winning the 92 World Cup, when he said "I finally did it". He was always a power hungry individual.

It's hard for me to sympathise for him because PTI of the past (say 2013) was very different to the PTI that got into power. IK of old kept principles intact but all that went out of the window, when he brought over the same "corrupt crooks", who he used to speak ill of, into his party. Him and PTI fans can't even see beyond their own hypocrisy.
