"Parliament must speak in collective voice": RJD's Manoj Jha on Pakistan nominating US President Donald Trump for Nobel peace prize

New Delhi [India], June 21 (ANI): RJD MP Manoj Kumar Jha on Saturday stated that Parliament must speak in a collective voice on the Pakistani government nominating US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
Jha further stated that Rajnath Singh was one of the veteran leaders who did not harbour enmity towards the Opposition, unlike the newer ones.
"We've even heard that a neighbouring country is officially endorsing him (US President) and pushing for the Nobel Prize... From that perspective, Parliament must speak in one collective voice, and we need to see what Rajnath Singh can do to make that happen. We believe that Rajnath Singh is one of those veteran leaders who do not harbour enmity towards the Opposition, unlike the newer ones. Come to Parliament and send a unified message to the American President under the leadership of the Prime Minister," Jha told ANI.
"The way our civilians were killed -- that collective pain has now become the nation's pain. However, many questions remain. Donald Trump has made his statement for the 17th time, and the MEA bureaucracy cannot counter that. There should be a session of Parliament," he further stated.
On June 21, the Pakistani government formally recommended US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his "decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership" during the recent conflict between India and Pakistan, as reported by The Dawn.
The post read, "At a moment of heightened regional turbulence, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi." Dawn reported.
"This intervention stands as a testament to his [Trump's] role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue," the Pakistan statement added.
The official nomination of Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize comes just after Pakistan's COAS, Field Marshall Asim Munir, met US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday.
Trump himself made a pitch for the Nobel, citing various engagements for which he believed he should get the Nobel Peace Prize.
"I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia (A massive Ethiopian built dam, stupidly financed by the United States of America, substantially reduces the water flowing into The Nile River), and I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East which, if all goes well, will be loaded to the brim with additional Countries signing on, and will unify the Middle East for the first time in "The Ages!" No, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize, no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that's all that matters to me," he said in a post on Truth Social.
