The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has presented its stance on a sweeping set of reform proposals on the first day of the National Consensus Commission’s dialogues with political parties. The party expressed greater reservations about public administration reforms, endorsing 11 out of 26 proposals while rejecting the remaining 15. “Among all the recommendations, the Election Commission reform recommendation was weak,” he said. In response, Consensus Commission Vice Chairman Ali Riaz assured him, “We will not give it to anyone.”The seven-member National Consensus Commission, led by Muhammad Yunus, chief advisor to the interim government, began its work on Feb 15. The consensus commission had asked 38 political parties to submit their positions on these recommendations by Mar 13.
