ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — US mein qaim aik wakalati tanzeem ne Pakistan ke army chief, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, ko 2027 ke Nobel Peace Prize ke liye baqaida taur par namzad kiya hai. Norwegian Nobel Committee ko jamah karaye gaye namzadgi ke khat ke mutabiq, tanzeem ne un ke mubayyana kirdar ka hawala diya hai, jo US aur Iran ke darmiyan is saal ke shuru mein barhti hui kashidagi ke dauran aik wasee ilaqai jang ko rokne mein raha.
Sikhs for Justice tanzeem ki jamah karayi gayi is darkhwast mein dalil di gayi hai ke aik nazuk lamhe par ki gayi mudakhlat ne rabte ke zaraye mehfooz rakhne, aane wali kashidagi mein izafe ko muattal karne aur muzakrat ke zariye jangbandi ke liye halaat paida karne mein madad ki. Khat mein kaha gaya hai ke ala satah ke rabte ne "fauri fauji kashidagi mein izafe ki muattali" mein hissa dala aur "muzakrat ke zariye wiqfe ke liye zaroori halaat" paida karne mein madad ki.
Namzadgi mein is muamle ko aik ghair mustahkam ilaqe mein istehkam laane ki wasee koshish ka hissa qarar diya gaya hai. Is mein daawa kiya gaya hai ke Munir se mansoob iqdamat ne dushmaniyon ke jughrafiyai phailao ko mehdood karne, kayi mahazon par jang ko janam lene se rokne aur aapas mein jure hue ilaqai fareeqon ke darmiyan istehkam barqarar rakhne mein kirdar ada kiya.
Dastawez ke mutabiq, kashidagi mein kami ki koshishon ke fauri takrao se aage bhi wasee asraat the. Is mein dushmaniyon mein wiqfe ko tawanai ke aalami nizam mein utaar charhao mein kami, behri tijarati raston ke tahaffuz aur maeeshati ruknawaton mein kami se joda gaya hai, jinhein amn par wasee asar ki alamaat ke taur par pesh kiya gaya hai.
Khat mein Pakistan ke darmiyani kirdar par zor diya gaya hai aur Washington aur Tehran sameet mutaddid fareeqon ke darmiyan fauj ki sahulat se hone wali sifaratkari aur rabte ko bayan kiya gaya hai. Is mein kaha gaya hai ke Pakistan ne aik zyada khatre wale mahaul mein rabte ke pul ka kaam kiya, jis se kashidagi ko qaboo karne aur muzakrat ki himayat mein madad mili.
The submission also situates these efforts within a wider regional context, arguing that de-escalation in one theatre could reduce cumulative risks across others, including conflicts connected to Gulf security and broader Middle East tensions.
While Nobel nominations are confidential for decades, individuals and organisations meeting certain criteria are permitted to submit recommendations. Such nominations do not imply endorsement by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which does not comment on candidates.
The advocacy group behind the nomination, Sikhs for Justice, describes itself as an international organisation campaigning for a referendum on independence for Indian-governed Punjab.
If confirmed, the nomination would place Munir among a long list of political and military figures proposed for the prize each year. The Nobel Peace Prize is typically awarded to individuals or organisations deemed to have made significant contributions to peace, conflict resolution or international cooperation.
Analysts note that the symbolic significance of such nominations often reflects broader geopolitical narratives, particularly in moments when regional powers attempt to position themselves as mediators in global crises.
