[Reader-list] Constitution Overhauled in PK

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Yasir
 
Bravo!!!! Pakistan!!!! Well done.
 
Pakistan must be congratulated on this bring back of Parliamentary Democracy to replace the current 'khichdi'.
 
And of course other significant changes and reversals through the 18th Amendment. 
 
Having followed the ups and downs in the tackling of many a sensitive issue in this endeavour for Constitutional Reforms, to have it culminating in agreement by consensus amongst the participating members of the committee has been truly amazing.

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.
