I categorically deny that I said anything resembling."The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in the world, recognising those who have made significant contributions to promoting peace and resolving conflicts. PM Modi’s name was raised for the Nobel Peace Prize several times before.

Meanwhile opposition in India has remained silent on the issue so far.
