Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami skipped Tuesday's second-phase meeting with the National Consensus Commission, protesting what it called its exclusion from a joint BNP statement issued after a London meeting with acting chairman Tarique Rahman. While BNP and several other parties joined the talks, Jamaat declined to attend, though later invited. Key agenda items included Article 70, parliamentary reforms, women's representation, and a bicameral legislature. The commission will continue discussions with political parties on June 17–19.
