Indian media reacts to PM Imran’s tweet on Nobel Prize

Indian media is reporting that Pakistan is interfering in the internal matters of the country by raising Kashmir cause.

Lahore (Pakistan Point News – 4th March, 2019) The Indian media has reacted to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s tweet on being awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize.

The Indian media has now started propaganda against the Pakistani prime minister for raising Kashmir issue at international level.

Indian media is reporting that Pakistan is interfering in the internal matters of the country by raising Kashmir cause.

The Indian media is of the view that Prime Minister Imran Khan wants to bring international attention to the Kashmir issue, which is purely a ‘domestic’ issue.

Taking to twitter on Monday, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that he does not consider himself worthy enough to be awarded with a Nobel Peace Prize.

The prime minister said that the Nobel Peace Prize should be given to the one who resolves Kashmir issue as per the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.

“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,” he wrote on Twitter.

Over 300,000 people in total have signed two petitions that call for Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan to receive a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts toward regional peace.

Two similarly-worded petitions on change.org website were launched by users form the United Kingdom and Pakistan, soon after Khan ruled to release an Indian pilot, who was captured by the Pakistani military after an air incident over the disputed Kashmir region, "as a goodwill gesture."

After Khan's announcement, the #NobelPeaceForImranKhan began trending on Twitter. While one petition has gone through 250,000 mark, over 60,000 users have signed the second one.

Pakistani Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry submitted on Saturday a resolution to the country's parliament, in which he said that Khan deserved receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, as he had played a "sagacious" role in reducing tensions between Pakistan and India, apart from making a significant contribution to regional peace in general.
