Pakistan Army wants to stay away from the polling stations and provide security for upcoming polling exercises but assured their availability as a ‘quick reaction force’ (QRF) in case a need arises during electioneering.
This was revealed by ECP Secretary Omar Hamid Khan in an interaction with journalists after chairing a meeting regarding the upcoming by-election in Karachi’s NA-245,
“The ECP chief has recently sent a letter to the army chief seeking deployment of army troops for security [of the electoral process],” he said.
