The reform commission reports have provided the framework for a new Bangladesh, Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has said

"The vision of a new Bangladesh that we aspired to build rested on your shoulders (members of the commission). You have drafted the framework for those dreams, marking the beginning of a new chapter," he said after receiving the reports of four reform commissions on Tuesday.

"We will discuss this with everyone, assess whether it resonates with everyone and evaluate if we are on track to fulfil the commitments we have made. Simultaneously, you have provided us with the foundation for our discussions, and you will lead those conversations," he was quoted as saying  by the Daily Star.

Earlier, the chief advisor held a meeting with the heads of the four reform commissions. Ali Riaz, chief of the Constitution Reform Commission, Badiul Alam Majumdar, chief of the 

Electoral Reform Commission, Iftekharuzzaman, chief of the ACC Reform Commission and Safar Raj Hossain, chief of the Police Reform Commission, submitted their reports on Tuesday.

After taking charge in August, the interim government formed at least 15 reform commissions to strengthen weakened democratic institutions, and establish a state system rooted in public ownership, accountability and welfare.

The first six commissions for reforming the constitution, electoral system, police, judiciary, public administration, and the ACC were formed on October 3. They were given 90 days to submit their reports.
