The National Consensus Commission has continued its consultations on the July National Charter 2025, holding a fresh round of discussions with legal and policy experts to refine strategies for its implementation. The meeting took place on Wednesday inside the Commission’s office at the National Parliament building.
Among those present were retired Justice MA Matin of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court and Barrister Imran Siddique. Joining virtually were retired Justice Moinul Islam Chowdhury, Professor Mohammad Ikramul Haque, dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Dhaka, and senior Supreme Court advocate Sharif Bhuiyan.
The session focused on reviewing expert recommendations aimed at ensuring the Charter’s effective rollout. Commission members engaged in detailed exchanges on the advice received, weighing legal, constitutional, and policy perspectives. Officials said the discussions were designed to identify practical steps that would make the Charter’s provisions workable in the current political and administrative context.
It was agreed that the Commission would reconvene internally on Thursday morning to finalize key points. A follow-up session with the experts is scheduled for the same afternoon, where the refined proposals will be further debated.
Representing the Commission at Wednesday’s meeting were Vice President Ali Riaz and members Badiul Alam Majumdar, Justice Md Emdadul Haque, Iftekharuzzaman, Safar Raj Hossain, and Mohammad Aiyub Mia. Monir Haider, special assistant to the chief adviser overseeing the national consensus-building process, also attended.
The July National Charter 2025 is regarded as a pivotal framework for political and institutional reform in Bangladesh. The Commission’s ongoing consultations with senior jurists and policy specialists are seen as critical to ensuring that the Charter’s commitments can be translated into enforceable measures. The upcoming sessions are expected to shape the final set of recommendations that will guide the Charter’s implementation in the months ahead.
