Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The announcement was made by members of the Pakistan World Alliance (PWA), which belongs to the Norwegian political party “Partit Centrum”.
This is not the first time that Imran Khan has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Earlier in 2019, Imran Khan was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to promote peace between Pakistan and India.
A resolution was presented in the Pakistani parliament praising Imran Khan’s decision to release Indian Air Force pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan as a symbol of peace, to reduce tensions between the two countries.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee receives hundreds of nominations every year and announces the prize after a six-month screening and decision-making process.
