    Present constitution was made by the jageerdars and waderas for the protection of jageerdars and waderas. This in–human constitution needs to be amended to human
    I suggest following changes in this in-human constitution to be converted for humen
    میں نھیں مانتا ، ایسے دستور کو---------صبخ بے نور کو

    1-Power of president for judicial immunity should be removed
    2-Senate election should be by direct voting of the people, not by the provincial assamblies
    3-President and/or prime minister should not have the power to remove or dissolve provincial assemblies
    4-Women seats should be filled by direct election, not by assemblies
    5-There should be seats for labours, scholars, intellectuals and business people
    6-Land reforms are needed: There should be a limit to keep the agricultural land. Extra land should be given to landless farmers
    7-Budget allocation for health should be 10% of the budget
    8- Budget allocation for education should be 10% of the budget
    9-There should be a fix date and duration for local body elections. Judiciary should control it.

    Great suggestions. Ai agree with 1,3,4,6,7 and 8.

    With respect,

    a) I dont agree with 2 as then there is no difference between elections of NA and Senate.

    b) I dont agree with 5 as it beats the whole purpose of making it possible for anyone and everyone to contest. Why have separate seats for some. I think we shall make our process such that anyone can participate and stand a chance to win.

    c) Dont like judiciary having any role in conducting (in your words controlling) elections. It is an administrative function and shall be with government and not judiciary.

    While I agree that budget allocation for health and education shall be increased but how it could be increased to 20 % (10 for each) is a question mark.

    I think many more changes could be made to constitution specially around changing eligibility for paying taxes. Unless we have revenue we cannot spend 20% on health and education.

    All of these great suggestions.

    But who will make these amendments. Sitting senators would never give away their guaranteed seats.

    Fuedals will never vote for land reforms.

    Feaudals voted for land reforms twice during Bhutto's government. The reforms however were declared unislamic by Zia's Supreme Court which said that land belongs Allah and he gives it to whomever He wills.

    Also, there are technocrat seats but I think after the jaali degree fiasco we should learn to stop being childish.
