[Reader-list] Constitution Overhauled in PK

[yasir ~يا سر]

some good news on khyber-pakhtunkhwa renaming of province,
provincial and local autonomy (federal concurrent list thrown away),
judges appointment (CJ will appoint 7th member who is a retired judge)

many of the changes reversed were brought about under dictatorships and
military govts. a few of the faces are still there and even part of the
commitee, faces who supported the the earlier mangling of the constitution.
good job.
