The prime minister has warned her party's MPs to 'mend their ways' in time.

Also the Awami League president, Sheikh Hasina told a meeting of the party's parliamentary party on Sunday that she had up-to-date information on all the legislators and she had already gone through 200 of them.

Several sources at the meeting said it was on the basis of these reports that she made her warning.

Hasina also urged Awami League MPs to improve communications with citizens and party workers. A source said she had warned the MPs that those who cannot earn the trust of party colleagues in the next two years would not get a nomination in the next election.

The source said Hasina announced that she would hold meetings with teams of 25 MPs once she had gone through all the reports.
