Dr. Ejaz discussed the proactive efforts to ensure peaceful elections, observing positive electoral enthusiasm in Sindh and a peaceful rapport among political candidates in Balochistan. He emphasized maintaining lawfulness in Sindh, highlighting the mutual respect among parties.

Dr. Ejaz outlined a comprehensive security strategy involving three layers of protection, including commando deployment in Balochistan for quick action. “With the combined forces of police, civil armed forces, and the army, we aim to protect the nation’s sovereignty,” he stated.

Caretaker Information Minister Murtaza Solangi said on Tuesday that the government has no directives yet to suspend mobile and internet services on election day.
