The National Consensus Commission has so far received reform opinions from 21 political parties, with Bangladesh Nizam-e-Islam submitting its opinions on Monday.
A delegation led by Bangladesh Nizam-e-Islam Secretary Maulana Abu Taher handed over its reform opinions to Dr Badiul Alam Majumdar, a member of the Consensus Commission, at the commission's office in the parliament complex in the city.
With the addition of Nizam-e-Islam, a total of 21 political parties, including BNP, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, and the newly formed National Citizen Party (NCP), have submitted their opinions.
Meanwhile, the National Consensus Commission has held discussions with four political parties to reach a consensus on the reform initiatives undertaken by the interim government.
The four parties are the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), Khelafat Majlis, Bangladesh Labour Party, and Rashtra Sanskar Andolan.
The commission will continue dialogues with other political parties in phases after Eid-ul-Fitr.
Spearheaded by Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus, the commission commenced its work on February 15, 2025.
The commission identified key recommendations from the reports of five reform commissions—the Constitution Reform Commission, the Public Administration Reform Commission, the Electoral System Reform Commission, the Judiciary Reform Commission, and the ACC Reform Commission—to seek opinions from political parties.
Subsequently, the commission sent a set of recommendations in a spreadsheet format to 38 political parties, requesting them to submit their specific opinions on the crucial reform recommendations by March 13.
