@jamal nasir ,bro this is the address ( for sending petitions by post)

To,
Deputy Secretary
Public Petitions Table
Senate Secretariat
Islamabad

write whatever you want but the content should radiate maturity ...
suggestions should be written in the end with a separate heading and these should be concise and to the point ...
one suggestion that everyone should mention is the increase in the number of attempts .. Indian civil services allows 6 attempts .. same goes for Bangladesh civil services ... lets save brilliant students from ruthless strokes of bad luck ...let stop brain drain ...

by now at least 3 candidates have sent petitions by post ... i hv heard that 100 petitions on a similar subject are required by senate to form a committee that ponders on the subject seriously ... i think we can send much more petitions than 100 given the enormity of dissatisfaction caused by the result

@abbas khan 119
