ISLAMABAD: Caretaker government is responsible for arranging security plan and making peaceful arrangements for conducting free and fair elections across the country.

This was stated by a leader of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Shah Mehmood Qureshi while talking to a private tv news channel during a talk-show.

He said that PTI cheif Imran khan pointed out the security reservations while meeting with caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab Najam Sethi and he admitted that the security threats exist and government will overcome these challenges.

Qureshi said that any political party can't afford such arrangement alone to meet the security risks within the limited resources, especially PTI which have very limited resources.

All political parties should aware the candidates about security precautionary measures besides following the cod of conduct,he said.

Responding to a question, Qureshi said there are few candidates who can afford bullet proof vans during election campaign while majority of the candidates can't afford this.

Conduct of peaceful polls will be a great challenge for government,law enforcing agencies and all the political parties,he added.
