Earlier in 2019, PTI’s founder was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to promote peace in the Asian region, particularly between Pakistan and India.
A resolution was submitted in the Pakistan parliament to endorse his nomination, citing his decision to release Indian Air Force pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan as a de-escalation measure.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee receives hundreds of nominations each year and selects the winner through an eight-month screening and decision-making process.
