Lahore Awami Assembly was held at Alhamra Cultural Complex, Ghadafi Stadium to celebrate 70th anniversary of Lahore Resolution (Pakistan Day). It was organised by Aman Ittehad. The assembly was well attended and appreciated by the people.
On this occasion people passed Awami resolution that adequate, effective and mandatory safeguards must specifically be provided in the Constitution of Pakistan to all citizens including non-Muslims for the protection of their religious, cultural, ethnic, linguistic, economic, and political rights and interests, in consultation with them.
These safeguards must encourage transparency and accountability, the pillars of a true democracy with a view to create a politically stable and socially responsive state that ensures all its citizens a life of dignity. It was also passed in the resolution that equal opportunity and rights must be ensured to all citizens through the strengthening of institutions and the supremacy of the parliament that through its laws, policies and governance.
It was resolved in the assembly that a mechanism should be formed to transform the country from a security to a welfare state and a judiciary should provide justice to all with independence and equity. It is the responsibility of the state to provide justice, quality healthcare and education, and livelihood to all its citizens. A state should promotes peace in the region through a policy of non-interference and regional trade with all particularly its neighbours, and a state that lives in peace and actively enables its citizens to do so.
It is also the considered view of this Assembly that no constitutional plan would be workable in this country or acceptable to its people unless provinces are autonomous and governed according to the aspirations of people of the province. The Assembly further resolves that a social contract must be framed between citizens and the state. All laws and mechanisms for their implementation must be in harmony with this document and all conflicting laws must be repealed.-PR
