Addressing a seminar 'Global & Regional Geopolitics, Security & Economics', organised by Indian Chamber of Commerce, Narayanan, who was also former West Bengal Governor, said at the sidelines that Pahalgam attack in Kashmir was not India's intelligence failure. He added that extra precautions could have been taken to avert the attack. "I have been in intelligence work, I know this. I don't classify this as an intelligence failure," he said.
