1.           We welcome the upcoming deployment of the armed forces. We hope that this deployment will create a congenial electoral environment which was not existing before.

2.           However, we hope that the armed forces will not stand against the interest of the people or seek to implement the agenda of an individual or a group of people. The armed forces serve the people and the country and the image of the armed forces cannot be tarnished for a handful of individuals.

3.           Armed forces must create level playing field for all parties and play a positive role.”
