BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has expressed hope that the political parties would quickly reach a 'minimum consensus' on state reforms.
“We hope that minimum consensus will be created regarding the reforms and that the national election will be held swiftly based on that consensus. This is our expectation,” he said on Saturday.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting with the National Consensus Commission, the BNP leader said political parties had participated in initial discussions with the Consensus Commission.
