He said that out of the total 166 polling stations in Karachi, only 26 have been declared ‘very sensitive’. He demanded that all polling stations be declared ‘very sensitive’.

Earlier, the PTI had written a letter to election authorities and demanded that Rangers be deployed inside and outside all polling stations.
