In a collective effort to encourage civic participation, actor Osman Khalid Butt and singers Hasan Raheem and Asim Azhar took to their respective social media platforms, urging Pakistani citizens to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming election cycle.

Asim, via his Instagram Story, appealed to his fellow colleagues, public figures, and celebrities to endorse the importance of voting. He highlighted the need to raise awareness and encouraged everyone to stand for what is right and fair. Furthermore, the musician urged the public to vote for the betterment of Pakistan, asking everyone to find their constituencies and actively participate in shaping the future.

"I request all my fellow colleagues, public figures and celebrities to endorse the right to vote to at least raise awareness in their capacity for the public to stand for what is right and fair and most importantly, VOTE! PLEASE encourage everybody to find their constituencies and decide what our children will see. Vote for Pakistan," stated Asim on his IG Story.

Osman, in a post on X, provided a practical guide for individuals who haven't yet checked their polling details. He advised sending a message to 8300 with their CNIC to receive information about their constituency and polling station. Additionally, he stressed the significance of making one's voice count through the voting process.

Hasan initially conveyed a heartfelt message in Urdu on the site formerly known as Twitter, urging everyone to cast their votes, a sentiment he later echoed in a follow-up post. "Aur meri jaan kay totay vote zarur daalna (Piece of my heart, do vote,)" shared the singer. Responding to potential critics, Raheem asserted his commitment to civic responsibility, mentioning his tax contributions and asserting his right to express opinions aligned with his beliefs.

The trio's collective call to action reflects a growing awareness among Pakistani celebrities about the pivotal role citizens play in the democratic process. As the election season approaches, these influential figures are leveraging their platforms to inspire widespread participation and engage citizens in shaping the future of the nation.
