Dhaka, Aug. 23 -- "As the submission window closes, most major parties file views on the Charter while seven holdouts risk being sidelined"
The National Consensus Commission (NCC) confirmed on Thursday that 23 political parties have submitted their views on the draft July Charter, a proposed blueprint for constitutional and democratic reforms in Bangladesh. The deadline expired at 3pm, with officials making clear that no further extensions would be allowed.
The process is seen as a key test of how far the country's parties are willing to engage in shaping the political framework of the post-transition era. Commission sources said the submissions will now be reviewed before a final version is unveiled on 5 August next year.
