Prof Ali Riaz, vice-chairman of the National Consensus Commission, has said that political parties have yet to reach an agreement on two key issues—women’s reserved seats and the formation of an upper house in parliament.
These matters will be discussed again on Tuesday, Ali Riaz told journalists on Monday after the 13th day of the second phase of talks between the commission and political parties, held at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka.
He said that while all parties agree on the proposal to permanently allocate 100 seats for women in parliament, procedural disagreements remain.
