The commissions interacted extensively with experts and individuals from various sectors of society before finalizing their recommendations.
Some commissions also sought input from the public through opinion polls. Although they did not engage in direct discussions with political parties, written proposals were sought, and many parties responded with their own suggestions.
Debate and disagreement over proposed reforms is natural and expected. However, it is important to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of the Commission heads and members who completed their work within the limited time frame. We thank them for their efforts.
Welcoming the reform reports, the Chief Advisor described them as “the charter of the new Bangladesh”.
The real question is how these charters will be implemented. To achieve this, consensus is required among all political forces. Consensus does not mean unanimous agreement on every issue, but it is important to build consensus on important issues like elections and the Constitution. Recognizing the importance of national consensus, the Government has set up a Consensus Commission under the leadership of the Chief Advisor.
