NCP urges BNP to agree on constitutional body appointment proposal
If the new democratic system cannot be presented to the people through reforms, the desire for a mass uprising will fail and all the efforts of the Consensus Commission will be in vain, said Akhtar Hossain, member secretary of the National Citizens Party (NCP). He said, “The constitutional institution is the people’s desire for appointments to constitutional positions. The BNP and its like-minded parties have taken a stand against that idea.
NCP urges BNP to agree on constitutional body appointment proposal
Our call will be for the BNP and like-minded parties to take positive decisions on appointments to constitutional institutions in solidarity with the people’s opinions, respecting the people’s desires and ensuring that the future state structure of Bangladesh is not limited to one person.
Akhtar Hossain made this call after the sixth day of discussions of the second round of the National Consensus Commission with political parties on Wednesday.

Regarding the Commission’s revised proposal as the fundamental principles of the state, the NCP General Secretary said, “The Commission has proposed to add equality, human dignity, social justice, democracy and religious freedom and harmony, whether or not they are the fundamental principles of the existing constitution. We believe that the fundamental principles that have been added to the 1972 Constitution of Bangladesh or the Fifth Amendment are party fundamental principles.
The Mujibist principles of the 1972 Constitution are not in line with the principles of the people’s uprising. Therefore, the NCP believes that equality, human dignity, social justice, democracy – these issues should be accepted as fundamental principles. Today, there was no consensus on the fundamental principles. We have proposed that the proposed fundamental principles should be accepted, excluding the principles of the 1972 Constitution.”
