Over an algebraically closed field (of any characteristic), it is fairly obvious using the omitted definition of "standard parabolic" that the assertion here for a pair of included standard parbolicsparabolics is true: one just wants to trace the pairs of positive and negative roots involved. However, the question is too loosely formulated to be clear. For example, the minimal $k$-parabolic $P_0$ is introduced but then ignored for $k=\mathbb{Q}$. Here $k$ may be arbitrary, but it needs to be clarified what "standard" means in this setting. The 1965 foundational paper by Borel and Tits is now somewhat old-fashioned in language, but the BN-pair setting for parabolics is probably helpful here.
