41.6

4. Sikhs form about [unclear] and Hindus 5-3/4% of the total population of the N.W.F.P. At present we xxx have been given 3 seat in the house of 50- Hindus 9. We demand 33.3% in any future legislature for both minorities but as Sikhs are the most important amongst these, they should be given 16-3/4% instead of the present low percentage. Hindus are well advanced, Sikhs are backward and poor. Sikhs need more protection hence half of what is given to minorities must be allotted to Sikhs and no less.

If two chambered legislative bodies are proposed the same ratio must be maintained in both the houses.

In all services connected with the Legislative bodies our share of 16-3/4% must be secured legally.
