2 – National Assembly, provincial assemblies must be dissolved because ‘this is unconstitutional,’ citing Article 62 of the constitution. 2/3 members are tax evaders and thieves.
3 – Formation of ‘national government for democratic reforms’ after dissolution of assemblies, this government should be formed with consensus.
4 – Every leader, technocrat, bureaucrat, and public office holder must be put to the accountability by this new government.

- Housing for homeless
- Food and clothing for everyone
- Necessities must be arranged in three months
- State health policy, free medical treatment
- Free compulsory education to every child, education classes for adults
- Basic necessities must be provided on half the prices
- The first three months’ utility bills will be half; this will be responsibility of national government
- Employment must be provided, especially for women. Women should be empowered economically. Anti-discriminating laws for women must be in place.
- Revision of pay structure, equal distribution of wealth
- Sectarianism, terrorism and extremism must be eliminated from the country. This must be added in the law that no sect can declare the other infidel.
6 - Peace training centers must be established, peace and inter-faith harmony should be added in textbook syllabus of schools.
7 – Minorities be provided with complete rights, equal citizenship no matter what religion they belong to. They will be given constitutional protection.
8 – Devolution… formation of more provinces including Hazara, Gilgit-Baltistan, South Punjab, FATA. At least 23 provinces should be formed for better administration. How and why should people of smaller cities have to travel to major cities for court appearances and other governmental affairs?
9 – Accountability by national government, no corrupt will be allowed to hold a public office or obtain loans, corrupt will be imprisoned.
10 – Same laws for rich and poor, equal prosperity opportunities for poor.
