Elections should be held at any cost, no matter what. Elections were held in different countires even at times of war. So there is no excuse. If a party wants to boycott, they are most welcome.
The terrorists are adamant in targeting the political leaders, as they don't want the election should be held in time.
It is upto the political leaders as how they can save themselves, as Police cannot do any thing in this matter.
For Police, terrorists are not a problem but the real problem is how to provide security to all the political leaders at a time.
