July Charter implementation recommendations to be submitted to govt Tuesday

The National Consensus Commission is set to submit its recommendations to the CA on the implementation of the July National Charter on Tuesday.

‘The formal handover of the recommendations will take place at 12:00pm  on Tuesday at the State Guest House Jamuna in the presence of members of the Council of Advisers,’ said the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing on Monday.

The development came at the concluding meeting of Consensus Commission held at the Jamuna on Monday with Commission Chairman Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus in the chair.

Commission Vice-Chairman Professor Ali Riaz, members Justice Md Emdadul Haque, Dr Iftekharuzzaman, Dr Badiul Alam Majumder, Dr Mohammad Ayub Mia and Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser on National Consensus Building Process Monir Haider were present in the meeting.

At the meeting, the Chief Adviser emphasised the importance of preserving all documents, videos, audios, and photographs related to the commission’s activities from its formation to the final recommendations.

‘These are invaluable assets. As a nation, it is essential to preserve and be open to everyone in the long term to understand that in what context and through what process, we reached what decisions,’ Professor Yunus said.

All documents, including photographs, videos and correspondences, must be preserved and categorised properly, the Chief Adviser said, adding, all discussions broadcast live on television must be preserved in episodes.

These will serve as living historical records and vital resources for future researchers, he said, adding, ‘These documents will remain for generations to come. These documents will be at the center of future political discussions’.

Professor Yunus expressed gratitude to political parties, officials of the commission, researchers, and members of the media for their contributions to the commission’s work.
