Handover Balochistan,Karachi and other sensitive places to army till elections because caretaker government failed to maintain peace in country also free hand should be given to army to follow and crush terrorists all over the country.Police cant trusted due to inability and presence of black sheeps in police.If primary force which is police incapable to fight terrorists and lack of advance weapons and equipment then how can they bring peace?.Its better to handover all security related matter to army.
