Therefore, we need reforms in the political system, government institutions and fill up the vacuum in the constitution.

We need to change the style of politics that was going on for the past two decades. By now, we have seen how menacing the political atmosphere could be. Politics was in the hands of two or three persons. Absolute power made them greedy and they had no accountability.

The political parties should come to the consensus that national issues should be dealt with collectively and all parties should engage themselves in dialogues on economic and foreign policies.

The parties should not call hartal. They should transfer themselves from the streets to the parliament.

All political parties should organise their councils every 3 years and candidates seeking election to party's top posts should be elected through secret ballot. Debates(in front of electronic media and party council) should be held amongst top contestants.

No person should stay as party chief for more than two terms. No person should continue as party president after becoming prime minister.

Funds and expenditures of all political parties should be made public.

We witnessed failures in our country's parliament over the past few years. Parliament should carry the essence of a democratic nation. But our parliament lacks effectiveness.

A bicameral parliament is needed for bringing proper 'checks/balances' into the house. The lower house will ensure public perception of any bill and, the upper house should ensure effective and constructive policy making.

It is high time to bring in modification to Article 70. Members should be allowed to express their views in a more liberal way. Members should be given the freedom to choose right/wrong and go against their party's decision, if necessary.

Strong local/regional government is always instrumental in a country's progress. Our local government system definitely needs correction and till today the main theme of local government is missing. People's participation at regional level is missing and this issue should be addressed with a sense of urgency. Administrative decisions at local level should be made only after proper participation of grassroots workers. Local government bodies should be given the duty of making budgetary decisions at regional levels. Infrastructural developments should be carried out under their administrative supervision and monetary policies should also be framed by them. This will reduce unnecessary bureaucratic formalities resulting in loss of time.

Lord Brougham said, "Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave." Thus, no politician can misguide an educated voter. Proper execution of voting right depends on educational values of voters. Our country's educational policies demand great time-effective reforms.

Our country has become divided into two political sects. Now, we have to integrate politicians, civil society and people from all walks when facing issues of great importance. A national security council should be appointed by the president which will overlook policy making in crucial areas.

This body should have the power to look into the ministries' plans and progress.
