Fear of defeat or lack of confidence, politicians have started to take an oath on the Holy Quran from their supporters, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.
According to a video clip that went viral on social media, a notable figure adopting this unique method is the former MNA and chairman Kashmir Committee, Syed Basit Sultan Bukhari from Jatoi Tehsil Sindh.
Bukhari can be seen earnestly taking an oath from his supporters on the Holy Quran that they would cast him votes. This ritual is accompanied by his assurance that the decisions he makes will be in the best interest of the public.
Basit Sultan Bukhari, running on a PML-N ticket for NA-177, PP-273, and PP-272, is making waves with this distinctive appeal for support.
The video's virality underscores the unconventional nature of this campaign strategy, sparking discussions about the varied methods politicians employ to connect with their electorate.
