NSA Ajit Doval addresses nation at Sardar Patel Memorial lecture; says, 'India needs a strong, stable and decisive govt for next 10 years'

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval in an address to the nation at Sardar Patel Memorial lecture has said that ‘India is not governed by the political representatives rather by the laws that are made those representatives and therefore the rule of law is extremely important.’

Doval is speaking at a lecture series at Sardar Patel Memorial, where he even said that “The populist measures shouldn't take precedence over national requirements. It is a temptation that is you take the thing or you refrain from doing the thing which are in the national interest. But probably for a short time they may cause some pain to the people.”

Ajit Doval pressed for a cause to support decisions and policies being framed out in national interest, as it is the need of the hour. He said, “The populist measures shouldn't take precedence over national requirements. It is a temptation that is you take the thing or you refrain from doing the thing which are in the national interest. But probably for a short time they may cause some pain to the people.”
