Owaisi Mocks Pak’s ‘Nobel Prize for Trump’ Move After US Bombs Iran’s Nuclear Sites
In a scathing attack, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi mocked Pakistan’s decision to nominate US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, hours after the US bombed three nuclear sites in Iran. Owaisi, known for his sharp wit and biting sarcasm, slammed Pakistan’s General (Army chief Asim Munir) for having lunch with Trump, suggesting that this might have been the reason behind the nomination.
In a statement, Owaisi said, “Did Pakistan’s General (Army chief Asim Munir) have lunch with the US President for this? They have all been exposed today.” He further added that Trump violated international laws by dropping bombs, and that Pakistan’s decision to nominate him for the Nobel Prize was a joke.
Owaisi’s remarks come after Pakistan’s Punjab Assembly passed a resolution on Friday, nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his efforts to broker peace deals in the Middle East. However, the move was widely criticized, with many calling it an attempt to curry favor with the US.
Pakistan’s move to nominate Trump for the Nobel Prize has been seen as an attempt to weaken Iran’s stance on the issues, particularly in the wake of the recent tensions between the two countries. The US had launched airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites on Thursday, in response to Iran’s alleged attack on US troops in Iraq.
Owaisi’s attack on Pakistan’s decision to nominate Trump for the Nobel Prize is not the first time he has spoken out against the country’s actions. Earlier this year, he had slammed Pakistan’s decision to invite the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) leader, P K Kunhalikutty, for the oath-taking ceremony of the new government in the Punjab Assembly.
Pakistan’s move to nominate Trump for the Nobel Prize has also been seen as an attempt to appease the US, which has been critical of Pakistan’s actions in the region. The US had suspended military aid to Pakistan in January 2018, citing Islamabad’s failure to take action against terrorist groups operating in the country.
Owaisi’s remarks have been seen as a blow to Pakistan’s efforts to curry favor with the US. His statement has also been seen as a reflection of the growing tensions between India and Pakistan, particularly in the wake of the recent tensions between the two countries over the Kashmir issue.
Pakistan’s decision to nominate Trump for the Nobel Prize has also been seen as an attempt to divert attention from the country’s own internal issues. The country has been facing economic difficulties, with the rupee’s value plummeting against the US dollar. Pakistan’s economy has also been crippled by its debt burden, which stands at over $100 billion.
In conclusion, Owaisi’s remarks on Pakistan’s decision to nominate Trump for the Nobel Prize have been seen as a blow to Pakistan’s efforts to curry favor with the US. His statement has also been seen as a reflection of the growing tensions between India and Pakistan, particularly in the wake of the recent tensions between the two countries over the Kashmir issue.
