National Unity Commission’s Term Extended by Another Month

The government has extended the term of the National Unity Commission until 15 September. The Cabinet Division issued a notification late on Monday, 11 August, officially prolonging the commission’s tenure by one month.

Previously, on 12 February, a seven-member National Unity Commission was formed under the leadership of Chief Adviser Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus. Professor Ali Riaz, Chairman of the Constitutional Reform Commission, was appointed as the co-chair of this commission.

The commission was initially given six months to submit its report, with the deadline set for 15 August. However, the government decided to grant an additional month before that deadline.
