LAHORE: As many as 80 polling stations out of 284 have been declared sensitive due to security concerns in by-poll in the National Assembly constituency NA-122. According to police authorities, the constituency has also been declared Red Zone where strict security arrangements would be made with deployment of 5,000 policemen.
This extreme publicity is all the more surprising in view of Soleimai's command of the most secretive and sensitive branch of the IRGC. The Quds force is the expeditionary wing of the Revolutionary Guards and spearheads Iran's engagement with pro-Iranian armies, militias and political factions across the region.
While addressing booth workers of two Lok Sabha constituencies- Tehri and Haridwar, BJP President Amit Shah reiterated his party's stand on the sensitive Ayodhya issue. He said Ram Temple would be built at the disputed site. He also asked Congress President Rahul Gandhi to clarify his stand.
