orms and said that the electoral reforms m
ade by government are negating the
democracy in Pakistan.

ing minorities election system and the apex court advised parliament in its decision of 5th August, 2015 to stop consider
ing minorities as second class citizens and change their method of election, but no improvement in this regard is m
ade by parliament yet.
