Parliament security: Personnel of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) took charge of parliament’s security on Thursday after Rangers withdrew from duty.

The move came after the controversy that erupted over the deployment of Rangers outside accountability court during the hearing of corruption references against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Earlier, Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal had expressed stern resentment over Rangers’ deployment at the Federal Judicial Complex. The paramilitary force had conditioned their security duties to a written application.

Rangers have now withdrawn its 49 personnel from Parliament House. They will only be deployed after written orders.

At least 45 FC personnel will now secure the Parliament House during proceedings of the National Assembly and Senate. During routine house proceedings, police personnel will remain on duty.

However, Rangers are still deployed with policemen at 15 joint patrolling, entrance and checkpoints of the capital.
