Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus announced yesterday that a new charter for Bangladesh will be created through national unity and dialogue.

"We aim to form a charter based on the mass uprising, which will be the foundation for a new Bangladesh. It will prioritize unity and will include elections, but the charter must remain intact," he stated in his opening speech at an event in Tejgaon.

The Chief Adviser received reports from four reform commissions, which included recommendations for state reforms. Professor Yunus emphasized that the charter would represent a national commitment, signed by all political parties, and would serve as a guiding document for the future of the nation.

"The charter will be for the Bengali nation, and we will carry it forward in our hearts," he said. He stressed that the elections would be a part of this charter, with unity being key to ensuring its success.

Describing the report submission as a historic moment, Professor Yunus acknowledged the significance of the event in the nation's journey. "These reports are part of a larger effort to build a new Bangladesh. They mark the beginning of a new chapter for the country," he added.

The Chief Adviser concluded by urging the removal of overlapping content in the reports for clarity and emphasized the importance of maintaining the spirit of the July revolution to fulfill the people's aspirations.

At the event, the heads of the Constitution Reform Commission, Election Reform Commission, Anti-Corruption Reform Commission, and Police Reform Commission presented their reports.
