The National Consensus Commission (NCC) met Khelafat Majlis and Bangladesh Labour Party to gather their opinions over the reform proposals submitted by different commissions.
The meeting took place on Saturday morning at the LD Hall of the National Parliament Building, reports the Daily Sun.
Khelafat Majlis was represented by a delegation led by its Secretary General, Ahmad Abdul Kader, while a 13-member team from the Bangladesh Labour Party, headed by its Chairman, Mostafizur Rahman Iran, also participated.
The discussion was presided over by NCC Vice President Prof Ali Riaz, who also leads the Constitution Reform Commission.
In his welcome speech, he emphasised that the objective was to build consensus among all political parties on key reform issues.
During the meeting, Ahmad Abdul Kader expressed optimism that the discussions would lead to a resolution of disputed issues and pave the way for a new political settlement.
Meanwhile, Mostafizur said his party supported the introduction of a bicameral parliament but opposed dividing the country into four provinces, arguing that such a system would create complications unsuitable for Bangladesh.
