Is our Prime Minister being considered for Nobel Peace prize?
Only a few days back, we read/heard the news that our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is a strong contender for the Nobel Peace prize for 2024. But later we came to know that Mr Asle Toje, Deputy Chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, dismissed this, saying it was fake news.Earlier also, we had seen fake news and rumours regarding the Nobel prize. Maximum rumours are in respect of nominations for the Nobel Peace prize and the Nobel prize for literature. For example, just on the eve of 2023, some Indians with destructive agenda floated a rumour regarding nomination for the Peace prize for a so-called 'fact-checker' of extremely controversial antecedents.
We all know that the nomination for Nobel Prize is a closely-guarded secret. However, if the Ukraine-Russia war stops in 2023 and Shri Modi plays a significant role in the negotiation process, his name will definitely be considered for the Peace prize.
I will be very happy if our Prime Minister is nominated. As a common Indian, I will be elated if Shri Narendra Modi gets the coveted Nobel Peace prize. In that case, I will also be curious to know how the entire 'ecosystem' would react to belittle the achievement and honour.
