Addressing a press conference at the PPP Media Office here on Friday, PPP leaders Nayyar Bukhari and Farhatullah Babar demanded withdrawal of the orders to deploy army at polling stations. Babar said, “The army is being deployed at all polling stations in Ghotki, while in tribal areas they are only posted at sensitive polling stations. Army was deployed at the polling stations in tribal areas during election. We protested that the army should be deployed only at sensitive polling stations.”He said during the 2018 elections when the army men were inside, the polling agents were sent outside. He demanded of the ECP not to post the army inside polling stations.
