It presently reads: He is alleged to plant his staunch supporters as RAW and IB chiefs. He grew infamous when he wanted to sack the then RAW chiefC. D. Sahay<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._D._Sahay>. He began systematically undermining Sahay; he planted his own man, Hormis Tharakan <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormis_Tharakan>, former Kerala police chief who was occasionally deputed to RAW, as Sahay’s eventual successor. The then NSA, J. N. Dixit<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyotindra_Nath_Dixit>, countered that Narayanan himself had not been sacked when Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated (Narayanan was the IB chief), and that no intelligence heads rolled after the Kargil intrusions were discovered[5]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._K._Narayanan#cite_note-5>
He presided over a post-Rabindra Singh(a RAW joint secretary suspected of being a double agent, defected in 2004. Singh was handing RAW secrets over to the USA, to where he fled from Kathmandu via Vienna once he was discovered) defection enquiry that has not damaged a single officer’s career; in some cases, the opposite has happened.[6]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._K._Narayanan#cite_note-6> Shashi Bhushan Tomar, the last man to see Rabindra Singh after the latter’s car was searched as he left RAW HQ in Delhi on April 19, 2004. Tomar, suspect colleagues, tipped Singh off that he was under RAW surveillance, enabling the double agent to evade his stake-out and escaped and Tomar is now posted in New York.[7]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._K._Narayanan#cite_note-expressbuzz.com-7> On 24th Jan 2010 he became the governor of West Bengal. He took over from Gopalkrishna Gandhi <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopalkrishna_Gandhi> who had a few disagreements with the CPM-ruled West Bengal on critical issues like violence in Nandigram and Singur. He was awarded with the Gusi Peace Prize<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusi_Peace_Prize> 2011. Controversy[edit<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=M._K._Narayanan&action=edit§ion=3&editintro=Template:BLP_editintro> ] Narayanan offered to resign on 30 November 2008 over the attacks in Mumbai that killed nearly 200 people, but his resignation was not accepted by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manmohan_Singh>. He experienced heavy criticism after the Mumbai terrorist attacks due to his preoccupation with Sri Lanka and the LTTE<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTTE>, instead of what others considered to be India's chief threat, Kashmiri insurgents and Pakistan.[*citation needed<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed> *] According to the Outlook magazine, Narayanan asked investigative agencies to go slow when they zeroed-in on Hindutva organizations for Samjhauta Express bombings<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Samjhauta_Express_bombings> in 2007.[8] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._K._Narayanan#cite_note-outlook-8> That is not so different from what was depicted in the IE article. The page is marked 'check for neutrality'. It looks like some hasty and a little slipshod editing has recently taken place. I haven't checked, but maybe the changes were made on 13 July, as the previous changes go back to 2012, and seem to be administrative in nature.
