The Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, as part of the ongoing talks with stakeholders including political parties, will hold talks with another group of political parties today.
Fifteen political parties and alliances, including Gono Forum, Liberal Democratic Party and Andaleeve Rahman-led Bangladesh Jatiya Party, Jatiyatabadi Samamana Jote, 12 Party Alliance, Jatiya Mukti Council, and Labour Party, are scheduled to join today鈥檚 dialogue.
鈥楾he chief adviser will meet leaders of several political parties on Saturday as part of the ongoing dialogue with them,鈥� the Chief Adviser鈥檚 Office said in a statement on Friday.
The chief adviser鈥檚 deputy press secretary, Abul Kalam Azad Majumder, on Tuesday shared the schedule, saying that the dialogue was an ongoing process and any further decision would be communicated accordingly in this regard.
Today鈥檚 dialogue will be the second such dialogue in the second spell of talks that began on October 6 with the participation of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, the Jamaat-e-Islami, the Communist Party of Bangladesh, and some other political parties.
The key purpose of the dialogue is to inform the political parties about the progress of the reforms initiated by the interim government and seek their suggestions.
Formed after the August 5 fall of the Sheikh Hasina regime amid a student-led mass uprising, the Yunus-led interim government has taken the reform initiatives.
On September 12, the government formed six commissions to reform the electoral system, police, judiciary, public administration, constitution, and anti-corruption, and the commissions have already started their activities.
Four more reform commissions were formed on Thursday, aiming at reforms in the sectors involving health, mass media, workers鈥� rights, and women鈥檚 affairs.
