THIS refers to news reports wherein the finance division has refused to release funds for Nadra software upgrade for thumb impression verification.

Many people and politicians are calling for verification of thumb impression.

There have been many rallies against rigging in elections. This step by the finance division can add fuel to fire.

There could be a strong response from some parties and it can aggravate the conflict among politicians. I request the relevant authority to release funds for software to avoid any ugly situation.
