The Gono Forum, led by Kamal Hossain, has signed the July National Charter, two days after refusing to do so at a ceremony held in the Parliament complex due to disagreements over constitutional wording. Although Gono Forum representatives attended the signing event on Friday, they declined to sign at the time. “We are pleased that the Consensus Commission has decided not to abolish Article 150(2) entirely, but to retain the Seventh Schedule. That is why we are signing today.”Mizanur said the Gono Forum had worked in full cooperation with the consensus panel. After the signing, Ali Riaz, vice-chairman of the Consensus Commission, urged the parties yet to sign to do so.
