Terrorism cannot be controlled by killing alleged militants in crossfire as it shows the weakness and failure of law enforcement agencies, Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister Rashed Khan Menon told parliament yesterday.

Civil Aviation Minister Rashed Khan Menon yesterday rightly described the death of militant suspects in so-called "crossfire" and "gun battle" as weakness and failure of the law-enforcement agencies.

Two people allegedly involved in the killing of AK Azad, a newly elected Union Parishad chairman, were killed in a “shootout” with police in Joypurhat early yesterday.
