During preliminary talks with Jamaat-e-Islami, political analyst Ali Riaz emphasized that building national consensus is not just the responsibility of the National Consensus Commission but also of political parties, civil society, and other stakeholders. He said multiple issues have already seen agreement, while some disagreements remain. Jamaat has asked for policy reconsiderations on certain matters, and further discussions are expected. “We don’t expect to resolve everything in one round, but progress is certainly possible,” Riaz noted.
