preferred citizen and bear minorities from holding certain public offices such as
presidency, prime minister and provincial governors etc.
4) The term minority must be used in broader aspects including the national, ethnic, and
linguistic minorities as well.
5) The number of representatives of minorities in Senate, National Assembly, and in four
provincial assemblies should be doubled than their size of population because of their
lesser number in society so, that their number in parliament may increase enabling them
to take an effective part in the matters of decision making of the state. In this context,
the union council should be formed on a smaller level so that minority representation
may be made accordingly.
6) In this regards, there should be reservation of seats of minority members in Senate as
well.
7) The present system of proportionate election must be reformed according to the needs
of minority communities; along with reserved seats the political parties should be
encouraged to nominate at least 10% of their members on general seat from the minority
communities. An amendment in the electoral rule after a debate in the parliament is
recommended.
8) The minorities should be given more shares in federal and provincial cabinets in
important ministries, parliamentary committees, and administrative commissions so that
their importance may increase by their visibility and role in national affairs at large.
