DHAKA, April 16, 2025 (BSS) – A delegation of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) will meet the National Consensus Commission tomorrow to discuss the ongoing reforms.

The meeting will be held at 10:30 am at the LD Hall of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, BNP media cell member Shairul Kabir Khan told BSS.

Shairul said that a 5-member delegation, led by former Speaker and BNP Standing Committee member Barrister Zamir Uddin Sircar, will take part in the meeting.

About the meeting, BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed said the reform process of the country is underway and BNP has also been talking about reforms for a long time. 

“BNP has given specific opinions on reforms on the constitution, electoral system, public administration, police, anti-corruption and judiciary commissions. There is a meeting with the National Consensus Commission on Thursday as well. I hope this meeting will be fruitful,” he added.

After the fall of the autocratic government Sheikh Hasina on August 5 last year in the face of a          students-people uprising, Salahuddin said, an interim government led by Professor Muhammad Yunus took the office on August 8 last year. 

One of the goals of this government is to bring reforms in various sectors of the country. To this end, the government formed the constitution, electoral system, public administration, police, anti-corruption and judiciary reforms commissions in the first week of October last year to prepare reform proposals.
These six commissions published their full reports last February. The National Consensus Commission is working with the heads of these commissions under the leadership of Professor Muhammad Yunus.

The National Consensus Commission officially started its journey on February 15 through a meeting with political parties. A charter (July Charter) will be prepared by establishing a consensus with the parties on the reform proposals. The next national elections will be held on the basis of this July Charter.

Earlier, the Consensus Commission had sent a ‘spreadsheet’ (in the form of a table) to 37 political parties and alliances seeking their views on 166 important recommendations of the six reform commissions.
