Party's Documented Position: The platform outlined below is derived directly from authorized party literature ('Manshoor Latest Colour 10 Nov 2023', 'Kya Yeh Mumkin Hai?', and the party archives).

The Three Pillars of Institutional Reformation
Formulated on page 3 of the party manifesto, the movement outlines the core purpose of political struggle through three interconnected civic guarantees:
Power in the Hands of the People
Party's documented position: Executive and legislative authority must be devolved directly to autonomous local community assemblies and village councils, ensuring that governance is exercised by ordinary citizens rather than elite monopolies.
Justice Free of Cost
Party's documented position: The commercialization of litigation and court fees must be completely eliminated. The party proposes district-level conciliation councils and community jury panels to ensure rapid, cost-free adjudication.
Public Accountability in the Open
Party's documented position: All holders of public office and civil functionaries must be subjected to transparent, public scrutiny in open court proceedings, ending behind-the-scenes impunity.
The Goshwara Devolution Model: Decentralized District Self-Reliance
Party's documented position: The movement proposes decentralizing Pakistan's colonial top-down governance through the Goshwara devolution diagram (documented on page 50 of the constitution booklet). Local authority is vested in 11-member peer-evaluated neighborhood councils, ensuring direct citizen participation in public resource allocation.
Documented Reform Theses
Preserved across pages 5 to 40 of the official party manifesto booklet, the movement details 17 specific reform theses addressing systemic governance, social justice, and economic self-reliance:
Necessity of Revolution & The Process of Ijtihad
Party's documented position: True democratic renewal requires substantive reform through collective intellectual ijtihad, rejecting superficial populist slogans in favor of deep-rooted constitutional consciousness.
Imams, Madrasas, and Social Conduct
Party's documented position: Religious scholars and prayer leaders should be integrated as civic educators and community leaders, promoting social cohesion, literacy, and universal moral values.
Mosques as Central Community Hubs
Party's documented position: Mosques must be restored to their foundational role as community assembly centers for consultation, dispute resolution, social welfare, and civic coordination.
Autonomous Administrative Units & Devolution
Party's documented position: Power must be structured according to the Goshwara model, establishing self-reliant local councils with 11-member peer-elected representations across every village and municipal ward.
Judicial Reforms: Insaaf Bin Daam
Party's documented position: Complete elimination of court fees, replacement of tout intermediaries, and institution of 18-year-plus citizen jury panels modeled after global civic arbitration practices.
Agrarian Reformation & Peasant Protection
Party's documented position: Dismantling feudal agricultural cartels, ensuring security of tenure for tenant farmers, computerized collective land registries, and direct state support for agricultural inputs.

Interest-Free Islamic Economy & The MBC System
