R/mam Jadoon, kindly answer this question, just precis answer/main points please

p.s :
For 1st part of this question, i.e
My approach was similar to research Methodology/Data Collection method,
i.e
We should:
Have clear idea of statement of problem or Our Motive of Research
Hypothesis
then use of different tools
Questionnaire, Interview, Observation etc
Deduction
Induction
Analysis
and then Final result
and at the end wrote that analysis and final result should be free from bias, and it should be free from religious, sect, culture inclinations etc

For the 2nd part i.e I wrote:
1) By enhancing the number of seats for minorities
e.g if total seats = 300
and minority seats =5 then we should increase the total number of seats triple time i.e total seats = 900 and for minorities = 15
2) If the legislative or executive decision is related to their interest/jurisdiction, then we should empower them and should try to accommodate their interests/demands in such type of decisions.
3) If the issue/problem is related to their constituency/area, then we should try to accommodate their opinion by fulfilling their demands and by adopting certain approach which may fulfill the interest of the minority in a best way.
4) By increasing the minority representative percentage e.g from 5% to 7 %.
5) By giving more powers in the legislative/executive matters and should try to take confidence of minority in such decisions.
6) By empowering them in indirect way by given special representation in the party positions. If they have positions in the party, then their voice will have more weight-age and in such a way public opinion of minority can be accommodated easily.
