PTI translates PM’s tweet about Nobel Peace Prize to Hindi

KARACHI: Here’s something we didn’t think we’d see. Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf translated the premier tweet regarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Hindi, winning praise by some on the social media site.

मैं नोबेल शांति पुरस्कार के योग्य नहीं हूं। इस योग्य व्यक्ति वह होगा जो कश्मीरी लोगों की इच्छा के अनुसार कश्मीर विवाद का समाधान करता है और उपमहाद्वीप में शांति और मानव विकास का मार्ग प्रशस्त करता है।@ImranKhanPTI #Pakistan #india

Earlier, the prime minister responded to calls for him to get the Nobel Peace Prize following his decision to release captured Indian air force pilot Abhinandan.

Following the highly-praised decision, a Twitter user tweeted that Khan should receive the honour for not letting the situation escalate.

A Nobel Peace Prize to @ImranKhanPTI could drastically change the way Pakistan operates in the South Asia region.

IK has already raised the bar for leadership in the region, and the Prize could encourage him to further nurture the India-Pak relationship.

He deserves the prize.

Not everyone was happy about the call.

So @shahfaesal backs Pakistan Information Minister call for Imran Khan to get Nobel Peace Prize. Most Indians are gobsmacked & rather furious at the comments by the ex IAS Topper turned Neta. He says, he meant it. An excerpts from my interview on @newshtn pic.twitter.com/52zYH3uOHF

But here is how the prime minister himself responded:

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.

میں امن کے نوبل انعام کا حقدار نہیں۔ نوبل انعام کا مستحق وہ شخص ہو گا جو کشمیری عوام کی امنگوں کی روشنی میں تنازعہ کشمیر کا حل تلاش کرے گا اور برصغیر میں امن و انسانی ترقی کی راہ ہموار کرے گا۔

Following PTI’s tweet, some people were rather impressed.
