CA Yunus receives recommendations from National Consensus Commission

The panel is set to hold a press conference at 2pm on the recommendations submitted for the implementation of the July Charter

The National Consensus Commission has handed over its recommendations on the implementation of the July National Charter to Muhammad Yunus, chief advisor to the interim government.

The handover occurred after 1pm on Tuesday at the chief advisor’s official residence, the State Guest House Jamuna.

The members of the interim government’s Advisory Council were also present at the time, the Chief Advisor’s Office said.

National Consensus Commission Vice-Chairman Ali Riaz and other members of the panel will hold a press conference at the Foreign Service Academy at 2pm on the matter.

The recommendations were finalised in the last meeting of the consensus commission chaired by Yunus at the Jamuna on Monday afternoon.

The July National Charter, which contains a commitment to implementing state reform initiatives agreed upon following a year of discussions, was signed on Oct 17.

Among the signatories were leaders of 25 political parties that participated in the dialogue with the panel, Yunus and members of the commission.

However, the July Charter did not say anything about how these reform initiatives would be implemented. As the political parties had differing views on this issue, the consensus commission finalised its recommendations after discussing them separately and collecting the opinions of experts.
