The decision to nominate US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize by Pakistan’s Shahbaz government not only shocked diplomatic experts, but it was an unexpected step for the citizens and leaders of Pakistan itself.
After this decision of the government, Pakistani citizens, journalists, workers and even former diplomats lodged a sharp protest on social media. Critics called Trump a supporter of massacre in Gaza and threatening war on Iran, calling Pakistan’s move shameful and policyless.
Pakistani journalist and writer Zahid Hussain posted on X and said that Trump has described Israeli’s attack on Iran as excellent and the Pakistan government is nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize. This is a very surprising step.
Former Pakistan Ambassador to the United Nations Maliha Lodhi also reacted sharply. He wrote on X that it is unfortunate to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize by the Pakistani government. This step does not represent the feelings of the people of Pakistan. Flashing cannot be made a policy.
Many social workers also criticized the Government of Pakistan and described it as the identity of ‘Puppet regime’. Rid Rashid wrote that the massacre in Gaza continues due to trump. Another war is provoking because of them and this puppet rule of Pakistan enrolls them for Nobel. Zero Dignity. Another activist Noor-e-Mariyam said that Pakistan again proved that it would remain a tenant nation.
MPs and experts also expressed protest
Pakistani senator Allama king Nasir described the move as misleading and morally hollow. He said that this nomination weakens the original spirit of the Nobel Prize. Also, this step promotes a Western diplomatic game.
‘Pakistan’s dignity ends’
International Affairs expert Derek J. Grosman also took a sarcasm and said that the slight dignity left of Pakistan has also ended.
What is the reason for increasing close to Trump?
Pakistan has taken this step when Trump recently invited Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir to the White House. According to reports, Trump had called him to lunch and Munir offered him to nominate him for Nobel. In the official statement, Pakistan appreciated the role of Trump and said that they made a decisive diplomatic intervention in ending the deadlock between India and Pakistan. However, India has repeatedly made it clear that the ceasefire happened through mutual talks between it and Pakistan.
India’s clear stand on the issue of Kashmir
Trump has expressed his desire for mediation in the Kashmir dispute several times, he said that I will work with both of you, so that the correct solution can be found. But India made Trump clear that Kashmir is an internal subject of India and no role of any third party is acceptable at all.
