Heads of the five reform commissions formed in the second phase have sent a letter to the Chief Adviser, urging that their recommendations be incorporated into the upcoming July Charter.
In their letter, the commission leaders emphasized that implementing the second phase of reforms is just as crucial as the first in institutionalizing democracy and building a new Bangladesh. Despite time constraints, they proposed two immediate steps: implement feasible reforms right away and include a pledge in the Charter ensuring future governments will continue the reform process. They also warned that without inclusion of reforms related to media, women, labor, health, and local governance, political parties might disregard them in the future.
