You are privy to the information and the truth of what happened in Baragoi a few months ago where our officers were killed and the Government went into negotiations with the criminals. A report is being demanded on matters of security and the relevant committee is dilly dallying. I have two matters seeking your direction. One, is it not in order for the Senate Majority Leader to give us a statement on such matters by Thursday? We do not want to take what the member of the committee is saying: “That “maybe”, he “maybe” able to give a statement, “maybe”, if it is available-- ” May be there are negotiations going on again with criminals. Secondly, as a member of this House, would I not be in order to demand that this committee be dissolved?"}
