A woman legislator belonging to Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) sought allocation of constituencies for the MPAs on reserved seats to avoid hurdles they face in launching different development works. The demand was made by Hina Pervez Butt through "Provincial Assembly of Punjab Privileges (Amendment) Bill 1972", which she submitted in Punjab Assembly.
The objective of said Amendment Bill is to get an independent constituency where MPAs on reserved seats could visit educational institutions, hospitals and other departments and also launch development works.
The content of the Bill says, "Whereas it is expedient to amend the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab Privileges Act 1972 (Act II of 1972) to facilitate and authorize the elected as well as members on reserved seats of the provincial assembly to inspect the jails falling within the district of his residence and for matters connected therewith and incidental thereto." The Bill sought amendment in section 18 of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab Privileges Act 1972 (Act II of 1972) mentioning that the word "constituency" be substituted with word "residence".
