Speaking on a call attention notice, Inu also a component of AL-led ruling alliance, said some activities of Rapid Rab and Police made people worried and damaged the government's image. He said Rab and police cannot give any evidence against their involvement in extra-judicial killings. Inu said the AL-led grand alliance in its electoral pledge promised to bring an end to extra-judicial killings. He drew attention of the home minister to root out extra-judicial killings. Meanwhile, AL lawmaker Suranjit Sengupta on a point of order demanded that the education minister issue a statement in parliament on leakage of question paper on recruitment of teachers. He praised the law enforcement agencies' role to arrest the culprits involved with the question paper leakage.
