In response, the National Consensus Commission has called an “urgent meeting” with political parties at 6pm on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, commission members met with chief adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus to discuss the matter.
The charter, based on 84 reform proposals from six separate commissions, is scheduled to be signed on Friday (17 Oct).
Although parties agree on holding a referendum to approve the charter, they remain divided over its timing and procedure.
According to sources, the National Citizen Party (NCP) has taken a hard stance, insisting that reforms must proceed through a “constitutional order”; otherwise, it will not sign the charter.
Similarly, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has yet to decide whether to sign, citing the absence of a clear implementation plan. Several left-leaning parties have also expressed hesitation.
Commission sources said Wednesday’s meeting will aim to resolve these disputes and confirm which parties will sign the charter.
The discussions will be broadcast live on BTV News.
National Consensus Commission Vice Chairman Prof Ali Riaz confirmed that the emergency meeting will take place on Wednesday evening, following a prior session between the commission and the chief adviser.
