Jamaat-e-Islami’s Abdullah Mohammad Taher said there has been notable progress among parties regarding the formation of a permanent appointment committee for constitutional and statutory institutions. However, BNP still has reservations. “Total consensus is nearly impossible,” he remarked. “We are working to reduce complexity.” He emphasized the need for the upper house to reflect public sentiment and not just MP votes, stating that most parties are now broadly supportive of a bicameral legislature.
