"Though there is no functioning parliament right now in Bangladesh, but we are still very much in the parliamentary system of government," the letter said, addressed to the CPA secretary general.

"Speaker and Deputy Speaker are there and they will work as bridges until election of the next parliament," the letter added.

The CPA recently suspended Bangladesh's membership in the 56-member association saying that there is no elected government and parliament in Bangladesh. In a letter to the Jatiya Sangsad secretariat, the CPA had also asked Bangladesh to get back its annual membership fee.

Bangladesh will not be allowed to participate in any upcoming programme of the association, like conferences and seminars due to the latest decision.
