I appeal to the Government and all political leaders in the name of God to make a constitution which could ensure food, education, and provision of all fundamental rights to the peasants and reserve seats in Assemblies for laborers and peasants on population basis. Minimum wage of laborers should be fixed at Rs. 250.00 per month.
In our country big officials get high salaries, live a luxurious life and possess big buildings but on the other hand school teachers, other Government employees and laborers are starving.
“You cannot send your children to school even up to primary standard. Education up to Secondary standard should be made compulsory, free and without any expenditure. This demand should be fulfilled.
“I request that land should be distributed among the landless peasants and agricultural laborers. Those jagirdars, who possess 10 or 12 bungalows and have six sons to augment the income of their families, will not fall short of money if their jagirdaris are abolished. But how landless peasants whose number runs in to thousands and lakhs can make both ends meet should be realized by you.
If the state confusion continues, the constitution would not prove useful, no Government will be permanent, the poor people will continue lamenting, the problems will continue to increase, the confusion will increase. In this state of affairs, no Government backed by imperialism or by capitalists will be able to survive for more than two years. Such a Government will not last even for one year. The Government will be compelled to call the army again. It is better that we should create conditions so that we do not call the army for the second time. It is, therefore, imperative that the demands of the working classes should be included in the constitution in full. The demands of the peasants and the students should also be included in the constitution.
Education has become so costly that poor people cannot afford to send their children to schools. The expenditure side has gone up one hundred times higher. Therefore, I demand from the Government and the future representatives of the people that they should frame such a constitution which could become popular with the peasants, the labor classes and the low-paid employees. If it is not done, you will have to call the army again and the Government will have to be run with the help of the army. It is a matter of shame.
Democratic country
The Quaid-i-Azam had also said that the Government in Pakistan would be a democratic country. There would be no dictatorship in Pakistan nor there a military Government.
The Quaid i-Azam had also said that the Government in Pakistan would be run by the people. The sufferings of the peasants would end. The difficulties faced by the laborers and the students would be removed.
The Quaid-i-Azam had said that every citizen of Pakistan would have equal opportunity to educate his children.
