Balochistan caretaker home minister Jan Achakzai has said that elections will take place on Feb 8 “at all costs” and anyone trying to disrupt the electoral proceedings will face the music.

Talking to Dawn News, Achakzai said the provincial government would ensure that people cast their votes on Feb 8 (tomorrow) despite attempts by miscreants to create a law and order situation.

“We will revisit our security protocol and may order deployment of additional contingent of security personnel in view of the law and order situation,” the provincial minister added.
