Dhaka, July 18 -- BNP senior leader Mirza Abbas on Thursday urged the interim government to stop what he termed a 'biased attitude' and hold the national election promptly to restore stability in the country.

"We would like to tell the interim government that please, stop showing biased behaviour. This is harming the country," he said while speaking briefly before inaugurating a silent procession in memory of the martyrs of the July-August mass uprising.
