Vice Chairman of the National Consensus Commission Prof Ali Riaz today said the commission’s objective is to formulate a National Charter based on consensus aimed at fully restoring the democracy in Bangladesh.

“We want to reach the consensus through discussion within a set timeframe. For state reconstruction and establishing a democratic order, political parties and alliances will need to compromise from their respective positions,” he told a dialogue with Jatiyatabadi Samamona Jote at the LD Hall of the National Parliament.

Ali Riaz said, “Various political groups have presented their views based on different ideological perspectives. We hope that in the interest of the nation and democratic reconstruction, all parties will be willing to give some ground.”
