<b>Even SPG didn't have intelligence inputs: Jaitley</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->NEW DELHI: The BJP, which has been making the charge that the Indian intelligence-system has collapsed, on Monday said that even the elite Special Protection Group that protects the prime minister was unaware of the intelligence inputs about Mumbaiâs vulnerability.
BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley cited the clearance given for the prime ministerâs proposed visit to Mumbai for attending The Economic Times Awards function to argue that even elite forces have no access to intelligence reports.
<b>Drawing attention to the âextent of the breakdownâ in the intelligence network, Mr Jaitley said, âimagine a scenario if this attack had happened three days later. The intelligence agencies usually conduct a security drill, sanitise the venue of a prime ministerâs visit three days in advance and collect inputs to ensure he is not at a risk. But they all seemed to be in the dark.â Mr Singh was to attend the function at the Trident-Oberoi hotel â one of the sites of the jihadi attack â on November 29</b>.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Why they have not fired Roy and M K Narayan ?
