Dhaka, July 22 -- The National Consensus Commission on Tuesday could not reach a decision over the election-time caretaker government issue, but Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami offered almost similar proposals about it, particularly the selection process of its chief adviser.

NCC Vice Chair Prof Ali Riaz informed the decision on the 17th day of the second-round dialogue between the Commission and political parties at the Foreign Service Academy on Tuesday.
