However, talking to MM News, Firdous Shamim Naqvi clarified that he wasn’t at all breaking the seals, but exposing the loop hole in the ECP system. He said the seals were too loose that could easily be opened by a single finger, thus paving the way to make changes in ballot boxes as soon as the polling was completed.
