The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has requested the interior ministry for ‘foolproof security’ arrangements for Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja.
In a letter written to the interior ministry on April 8, the ECP said: “In the light of the present polarized situation, foolproof security arrangements for the Hon’ble Chief Election Commissioner of Pakistan at the Election Commission Secretariat, Islamabad, his residential apartment in Sector G-5, Islamabad and during his travel outside Islamabad may be made on an immediate basis.”
It further said: “It shall not be out of place to mention here that unnecessary and suspicious movement had been observed around him [CEC] for the last few days. In view of the above, it is requested that the matter may be assigned top priority and required measures may be put in place under intimation to this office.”
