Caretaker Interior Minister Gohar Ejaz has vowed to not let any force compromise free and fair elections on Feb 8.
“We will not let anyone cast [an ill-intentioned] gaze at our national security,” he said. “We won’t let anyone disrupt the election process,” he asserted at a press conference in Islamabad.
He added that facial recognition technology was being used for security purposes.
Ejaz said an average of seven to eight security personnel would be deployed at each of the 90,777 polling stations throughout the country which had been divided into three categories — normal, sensitive, and highly sensitive.
