A House committee on Wednesday unanimously resolved to summon Department of Special Investigation Tarit Pengdith to give statement to the committee again over the operation of the so-called men in black during the 2010 political riots.

Democrat party list MP Watchara Petthong, chairman of the House Committee on Political Development, media and Public Participation said the committee resolved to take recourse the Summons of House and Senate Committee Act 2011 to summon Tarit to give his statement again.

The committee also resolved to file a complaint with the Justice Ministry over Tarit's objection of the committee's authority to question him saying the works of DSI and the Centre for Resolution of Emergency Situation are protected by the Information Act 2007.
