Terming BNP's demand for reinstatement of the caretaker government system as illogical, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday urged the party leaders to join the House and discuss the polls-time government method.

"The way democratic countries across the world hold elections, polls in Bangladesh will be held in the same way," said the prime minister, also president of the ruling Awami League.

She was speaking at a view-exchange meeting with the AL grassroots-level leaders of Madaripur district unit at Gono Bhaban in the capital.

Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its key ally, Jamaat-e-Islami, are killing AL leaders and activists intentionally to create instability in the country, Hasina claimed.

"Failing to drum up public support, the opposition party has been creating anarchy in the country," she added.
