At a press conference at the National Press Club in the city, the speakers also demanded reconstitution of the administration from grassroots to policy levels for a neutral and fair election.

The constitutional sections were not properly followed in recruiting the chief adviser to the caretaker government. Rather the president has taken the position hurriedly from a partisan stance, raising question on caretaker government system, Bangladesh Mahila Parishad General Secretary Ayesha Khanam said while reading out a written statement.

Besides, the ministries have been distributed to the advisers without considering their competencies and experiences. The president alone holds nine important ministries, which is not practical in any sense, she said adding that redistribution of the offices of the advisers is a must and the chief adviser should not grasp responsibility of most of the ministries.

The speakers also urged the president to prepare a complete voter list immediately.

Meanwhile, the state-run Bangladesh Television and Bangladesh Betar should be made free from partisanship and the media should provide neutral information.

The seven-point demand also includes improvement of the law and order situation by arresting the criminals.

Advocate Salma Ali of Bangladesh National Women Lawyers' Association (BNWLA), Nasimun Ara Huq Minu of Bangladesh Nari Sangbadik Kendra and Ranjan Karmakar of Steps Towards Development spoke at the press conference while representatives of Karmojibi Nari, Nijera Kori, Ain O Shalish Kendra, Bangladesh Nari Pragoti Sangha, Women for Women, Trade Union Kendra and Campe were also present.
