Gurdaspur attack an intelligence failure: Congress

The terror attack in Punjab is a result of intelligence failure, Congress leader Anand Sharma said on Monday.

"The terror attack is not only a security lapse at the border but also a failure of intelligence agencies," Sharma told the media here.

The Congress leader said the government should reveal what assurances Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif gave to Prime Minister Narendra Modi at their meeting in Ufa in Russia in June. 

"On what assurance and understanding did the prime minister issue a joint statement after their meeting in Russia?" he asked.
