Don't miss reform opportunity

Vice Chairman of the National Consensus Commission Prof Ali Riaz on Saturday said the scope for reform that has emerged must not be missed under any circumstances, reports UNB.
"We are at a historic moment. We owe a debt to the brave martyrs who have created this opportunity for us. It must not be allowed to slip away," he said.
Prof Riaz made the remarks while delivering his introductory speech at the talks with Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami at the LD Hall of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.
He said this opportunity should be utilised to build a Bangladesh where no one will face oppression and no one has to deal with extrajudicial measures.
Prof Riaz said they are keen to reach a national consensus quickly. "We will hold discussions and through dialogue, our goal is to move forward towards reaching a national charter," he said.
"We are all together in this process. We are making a collective effort. This is not an issue of any single political party. In fact, it is not just a matter of political parties-it concerns everyone. We are trying to reflect the aspirations of the nation," he added.
Mentioning that discussions will continue, if necessary, he said they all share the same goal. "We are trying together, and our collective success depends on our sincere joint efforts."
A 10-member Jamaat delegation, led by its Nayeb-e-Ameer Syed Abdullah Muhammad Taher, participated in the session.
