Ajit Doval is 79 years old. He's just been confirmed for a third term. Interesting time for that extension to come at a time when you know, many security challenges face the new Modi government. Take us through the decisions. It looks like continuity in these senior key positions is the order of the day. Well, certainly Shiv, this is a very important decision as far as the government is concerned. And what it also indicates that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has again reposed his faith and trust on the NSA. Ajit Doval who has been the NSA of this country from last one decade also what we have seen in past 10 years is that Mister Doval has been someone who has not only been involved in relationship with other countries but also he is someone who has monitored not only internal security of the country but also who he is someone who has been involved in several operations. He is someone who is not only trusted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi but also by several senior officials who are in the intelligence department. And that is why we are seeing this order by the Narendra Modi government. And what we are seeing in the order is still the time. There is a further order. He will be the National Security adviser of this country. Reposing faith in the National Security adviser for the third time, Prime Minister Modi has chosen to keep Ajit Doval as the National Security Adviser in the Modi 3 point O government as well. Thanks very much, Amanish, for putting that into perspective for us. And as always, the National Security adviser has a lot on his plate with everything that's happening in Jammu. There is the money, poor situation and many other security challenges that India currently faces. Of course, the situation in Ladakh with China as well is the biggest of them all. So as always, in the best traditions of the National Security Advisors Office, he has his hands full and he has another term now to execute. So Doval continues as Indias National Security Advisor.
