The special parliamentary committee on constitution amendment has sat with distinguished people to have their opinions.
The meeting began at 11:15am on Tuesday at Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.
The committee will sit with editors on Wednesday.
The distinguished people attending the meeting include former caretaker government advisers Akbar Ali Khan and Sultana Kamal, National Human Rights Commission chairman Mizanur Rahman, journalists A B M Musa, Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury and Shahriar Kabir, columnist Syed Abul Maksud, writer Syed Shamsul Haque, Hafiz Uddin Ahmed of TIB, Debapriyo Bhattacharya of CPD, Dhaka University vice-chancellor A A M S Arefin Siddique, former vice-chancellor of Jahangirnagar University Zillur Rahman Siddique and professors Muntasir Mamun and Asif Nazrul.
Committee co-chairman Suranjit Sengupta told reporters on Monday they had invited over 20 distinguished people and about 20 editors of national dailies for the meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday.
"Editors of the electronic media were not invited as we could not finalise their names," he said.
"We don't have any plan to call them now," he added.
The government in July last year formed the special committee to review the constitution.
The committee held a series of meetings with lawyers, constitution experts and political parties for getting their opinions on Apr 24-25 and 27.
However, opposition BNP did not turn up at the meeting while Jamaat-e-Islami was not invited.
