The Pakistani government has approved an order to reform the Frontier Constabulary in a new paramilitary force with national competence, renamed Federal Constabulary. It will be operational in all provinces and territories, with internal security and anti-terrorism tasks. But for the opposition and activists it is a tool that risks being used to suppress dissent, especially in view of the protests announced by the Imran Khan party.
