The interim federal and provincial governments are required to provide fool proof security to not only the candidates but also to the masses. The recent wave of terrorist attacks should be crushed with full force which is possible through cooperation and considering terrorism still a bigger challenge than accountability drive.
Better to seal border with Afghanistan till elections
There are thousands of vehicles that travel into Pakistan from Afghanistan. There are many people and even vehicles which enter into Pakistan without proper checking. They enter through illegally, though most of the border has been secured through sealing of border, there are still some areas which are abandoned and prove a passage for illegal commuters including extremists. The entire border should be closed till the elections.
On the other side, there is also a need to make changes internally. Beefing up security and having utter check and balance over the networks similar to Kulbhushan Jadhav one will help in nipping the evil in the bud.

Role of international power is quite evident
International powers are keenly observing the latest developments in Pakistan including the general election 2018. Amid those developments, the terrorists would be having ample chances to target, in big number, candidates and masses alike. It is time to get united and make Pakistan save from the evil eye.
