As uncertainty looms with the no-confidence motion against Imran Khan in place, celebrities have been flocking to Twitter in support of the Prime Minister.

While Islamabad hosted a rally after the PM urged citizens to reach its Parade Ground for a "historic" show of power amid the mounting political tensions, Saba Qamar, Humayun Saeed, Rohail Hyatt, Shaan Shahid and Samina Peerzada, among several others, joined the rest of Twitter to back the skipper.

Qamar reminded everyone that, "This is not about one person, it is about Pakistan.” She went on to hope, “May Allah (SWT) bless our Prime Minister Imran Khan with success. Ameen." Saeed revealed how he’s been a fan of Imran Khan since the latter was a sportsman and is still an admirer of his leadership. “I wish and pray that he completes his tenure. May Allah bless him,” the Crown actor wrote on the micro-blogging site.

 

Shahid, who has made it abundantly clear numerous times that he stands with the skipper, tweeted, "I stand with Imran Khan. Pakistan has spoken they want only one leader to lead them to a brighter future. They have shown solidarity with Imran Khan. You can keep your parliament but you can never take away our leader."

The Waar actor also commented on Saeed's tweet to praise him for standing with the 'truth'. "Well done brother, standing with the truth is the only way for Pakistan," he shared. While veteran actor and host, Peerzada, remarked, "Apnay Kaptaan ko Allah ki amaan mai diya."

Composer Hyatt, who was recently awarded the Hilal e Imtiaz, called the ongoing rallying support for Khan an 'awakening'. He tweeted, "What an awakening. Wow. Almost everyone I know in my village is either going or supporting IK’s call. This could be the defining moment. The opposition has done the impossible. They have awakened the conscience of this nation."

Actor Ushna Shah also chimed in, keeping a rather diplomatic stance, speaking only against the nature of such a motion. “Regardless of one’s political alliance, affiliation, a government collapse feels unnatural and unsettling,” she tweeted. “A stable political structure is paramount for any Sapien society; right now, the air feels ominous. If not in my lifetime, I hope Pakistan becomes stable for the next generation.”

While guitarist Salman Ahmad shared a photo from the rally in Islamabad to write, “Historic night at the Parade Ground. Imran Khan rocked like never before! His Speech will be remembered for its fierce honesty and call to awaken to a higher consciousness. The opposition has nowhere to run.”

Actor Adnan Siddiqui also inquired if those “playing dirty politics” had any idea what the consequence of toppling a stable government will have on the people. “Those busy playing dirty politics, have they fathomed the burden a new election or a new leader will put on state exchequer?” he asked. “Imran Khan is a mass leader. People’s love for him is proof. For the sake of Pakistan, let the man complete his term before writing him off,” he urged.

Armeena Khan didn’t shy away from tweeting either. “I stand with Imran Khan,” she wrote. You guys wanted to know, well there we are,” she added. While Mahira Khan simply added, “Imran Khan,” with hands in prayer emoticon.

The hashtag #BehindYouSkipper is also trending on the micro-blogging site as several discuss the impact Khan's governance has had on the country. "It's not Imran Khan vs opposition at this point. It's Pakistan vs corrupt political dynasties," a user asserted.
