Speaking ahead of dialogue with the 12-party alliance, Ali Riaz stated the aim is to form a national charter through consensus within a specified timeframe. “Different parties have voiced varying ideological stances, but we hope all sides will make compromises in the national interest to rebuild democratic governance,” he said. As Vice President of the National Consensus Commission, Riaz emphasized that the commission is not a rival to any political entity, but rather a facilitator for unity and reform.
