It is a very serious matter but he is taking it very casually! view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, cases of misuse of force by the police as well as extra-judicial killings are rampant in this country.

Could the Assistant Minister tell this House whether there has been any retraining of police officers so that they behave a little more humanely and professionally? view
