Vote of confidence: Celebrities throw their weight behind PM Imran Khan

Vote of confidence: Celebrities throw their weight behind PM Imran Khan

Actors, musicians, designers and cricketers show their support for the premier.
Updated 06 Mar, 2021

Prime Minister Imran Khan called a session of the National Assembly for a vote of confidence on Saturday after losing a key seat in the Senate election. Before the vote, a number of celebrities threw their weight behind the premier and said he is their true leader.

A vote of confidence is meant to show that the prime minister has the support of parliament. He needed 172 votes to win the confidence vote and got 176.

This included cricketers, celebrities and designers. The actual vote of confidence was done by MNAs, not the general public, but many people took to Twitter to show their support.

Cricketers back the PM

Celebrities back him up too

Actor Shaan Shahid posted several messages in support of PM Khan.

Rohail Hyatt of Vital Signs also supports the premier and said he was his only leader.

Actor Veena Malik also tweeted about the vote of confidence.

Designer Zarlasht Faisal, of the brand Zari Faisal, has been a longtime supporter of the PM and even made Imran Khan-related clothing items around election time.

Elan head Khadijah Shah also announced her support for PM Khan.

Singer Farhan Saeed shared a picture of the premier on his Instagram Stories.

So did actor and plastic surgeon Fahad Mirza. He said he stands with the PM.

Actor Ahsan Khan shared a video of an interview where someone asks him about PM Khan.

RJ Anoushey Ashraf said people who support the opposition are part of the problem.

Imran khan is a true leader. He is the only one fighting for corruption in Pakistan. I’m really impressed by all the good work down by PTI government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The people of KPK have free healthcare facilities for up to 1lakh across the country with KPK health card. No other provinces in Pakistan has that, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the First and only province to achieve that. Congratulations to KPK government and PM Imran Khan.

Big shots don't feel the pinch of inflation. it's the common man. IK should be accountable for his policies and vision. He increases the debt. And now inflation is inching up, deficit getting widen up.. He needs to answer. dont allow him to run away so he can blame on others. He is having another two year to turn around.

I cannot disagree with my friends that a common man is suffering, the governance is weak, the corruption is pretty much alive but can we afford the dynastic politics anymore? Atleast he is someone who is habitual of dreaming BIG and then chasing like anything.. that alone sets him apart from the rest.... fortunately, now he is chasing the most vivid, most tiring, most toughest of his dreams of #upliftingthenation among countless evils around and this wont be an easy journey my friends... "koi bhi bara kaam asaan nahi hota; isi liye woh bara kaam hota hai" (lines from the movie on kaptaan) #Congratskaptaan on winning today, more importantly i hope this part of the inning brings more sanity and more prosperity for the countrymen!

@Malik and what does fighting corruption mean ? Talking a lot about fighting corruption and endless pontification means little . The corrupt who were beneficiaries in previous regimes are also part of his regime with the additions of non competent that are in this regime alongside the corrupt . Corruption has gone nowhere .

Dear artists celebrities and players, there are lot of obstacle ahead IK will have to face from the cohort of corrupts. You as artist can do a lot to remove this ignorance from the nation's mind of who is right and who is wrong. We as expats in US just cannot comprehend why a sane person would still support Nawaz Sharif and Zardari.
