He trying to march towards Sandeshkhali where people have been protesting against a local Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader.
The Parliament committee had summoned Chief Secretary Bhagwati Prasad Gopalika, Director General of Police Rajeev Kumar, North 24 Parganas District Magistrate Sharad Kumar Dwivedi, Basirhat SP Hossain Mehdi Rehman, and Additional SP Partha Ghosh to appear before it on February 19.
