The chiefs of four reform commissions on the constitution, police, election system and Anti-Corruption Commission, and one member of judiciary reform commission, met on Monday to discuss ways of minimising overlaps and difference of opinions in their respective reports.
The meeting was an initial step towards getting prepared for consensus-building discussions among the political parties, said Professor Ali Riaz, vice-chair of the National Consensus Commission.
鈥楾he reform commissions worked independently in the past three months. In today鈥檚 meeting, we discussed the possible ways of identifying commonalities or overlaps in the submitted reports. Our primary goal is to set priorities among the common subjects,鈥� Professor Riaz told 抖阴精品, hinting at a series of such meetings till January 31.
Four of the six initially formed reform commissions submitted their reports to the interim government鈥檚 chief adviser, Professor Muhammad Yunus, on January 15. While only the summaries of these four reports are available online, the interim government set January 31 as the deadline for publishing the full reports of all six commissions.
On December 16 last year, chief adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus announced the National Consensus Commission, naming himself as the chairman of the commission.
Other members of the commission are the electoral reform commission chief Badiul Alam Majumder, police reform commission chief Safar Raj Hossain, judiciary reform commission chief Shah Abu Naeem Mominur Rahman, public administration reform commission chief Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury and ACC reform commission chief Iftekharuzzaman.
The public administration reform commission chief was not present at the Monday鈥檚 meeting taking place from 2:00pm to 5:00pm at the constitution reform commission鈥檚 office on Jatiya Sangsad premises. Justice Emdadul Haque represented the judiciary reform commission chief at the meeting.
Other attendees, without giving details, said that they discussed the need for coordination and identifying disagreements in the four separate reports.
