He cited the example of the Pathankot terror attack which could not be averted despite intelligence inputs. Speaking on ISIS, he said India didn't face any threat from the terror group "because our people have strong character". "When some youths left India to join ISIS, it is their parents and the Muslim society at large which has been instrumental in persuading them to get back," he said.
