Assemblies should be trusted:

 What is more necessary is that the executive should trust the Assemblies brought under existence under this constitution. All temptation to fill the house with persons holding office of profit should be checked. Otherwise, whatever little freedom the House have will vanish. We should not forget that trust begets trust.

Political prisoners have to be freed:

 Political prisoners detained without trial should be set at liberty to restore an atmosphere of confidence in the country and all penal actions regarding politicians should be done away with.

Parties needed for discipline in politics:

 Political parties are the very breath of representative democracies. As life without breath is unthinkable so the elective system without the disciplined parties is unworkable. Party means discipline. No representative body can function with a large body of individuals without any kinds of ties binding them and controlling their conduct and behavior within and without. No obligation except that of self-interest will influence members of party less House.

 Finally, regular periodic elections are a must in as much as it is the ultimate check on individuals as a parties against irresponsible conducts. So all obstacles against the growth of the party should be done away with. Till the democracy is ushered in.

 However, we must think in terms of the national issues now facing the country as a whole people from all walks of life be lie a private citizen, a member of the profession, on the services must make their contributions jointly to its solution.

Harmony essential for national unity:

 Finally, we feel found to say that we are passing through very trying and unsettled times. It is not peculiar to us alone. We need all the organs of the state and the nation to act in harmony, in full understanding and co-operation as a united people to be able to face all the unforeseen contingencies.

 Those in whose hands destiny had placed the fate of the country shoulder the greatest responsibility to bring about that unity and to lay the foundation of a Nation united on a firm and sound footing. Let us complete the task of constitution making as quickly as possible and free ourselves from this controversy and concentrate on the nation building task as a united people determined to fulfill the destiny which is ours.
