A SILENT INDIAN LEADER

In a democracy, rulers are elected by the people and hence the politicians need to be endowed with persuasive oratory. So, in the race to win over the electorate, they are so loud that the ones who really believe in performance, are either unheard or ignored. The most glaring example in India is our present NSA incumbent Ajit Doval. An unassuming retired IPS officer, Doval, like a true karmyogi believes only in work and no bragging. Even while in police service including the Central Intelligence Bureau, he had a breath- taking track record. As such, they who know him closely are not surprised over the saga of his recent successes.
While still in intelligence outfits, he stayed under cover in Pakistan for several years without any hint to the locals about his intentions. When he returned after the completion of his mission and the story was leaked, Pakistan felt crestfallen. As such, when he was tipped to become the NSA, there was an utter restlessness across the borders. Pakistan knows that like Osama bin Laden, Doval may also target our most wanted suspects like Dawood, Lakhvi  and Hafiz and hence his security was intensified.
The recently concluded Naga Peace Accord was the result of Doval’s tiring efforts. As a matter of fact he is also known for his in-depth knowledge of North-East affairs. When recently several people were butchered in Assam by extremists, led by Doval, Indian commandos secretly in darkness landed in deep forests on Indo-Myanmar borders and eliminated these hiding elements. Knowing that India now means business of paying the culprints in the same coin, such mischief mongers are hesitant to venture out now.
We know how Chhota Rajan has been underground in foreign countries for last over twenty years. Since Doval came on the scene, the don was accurately followed, Interpol at his request issued Red Corner Notice and a close liaison was maintained with the countries where he was hiding and as result, he was nabbed by the Indonesian police at Bali. Rajan will be brought to India any day now. Since he has many secret leads about Dawood, the latter in Pakistan is badly perturbed over his own security.
It may be added here that on the initiatives of Doval one more success has been achieved. A Thai national and gunrunner Wuthikorn Naruenartwanich aias Willy Naru, accused of being a middleman of Chinese arms meant for Naga insurgents has been arrested and the local judiciary has given a verdict that he may be extradited to India. Thus securing Naru’s custody would be a significant breakthrough for the NIA.
Though he does not deliver self-praising loud and long speeches, but his image of a matter of fact man has disturbed the countries nourishing anti-India designs. After the Ufa conference when the NSAs of India and Pakistan were to meet at New Delhi for bilateral talks, Pak authorities could realise that their NSA, Sartaj Aziz was no match for his Indian counterpart. So they declared to include in the agenda matters beyond the agreed brief. As a result of that the talk failed.
Thus one after another, Doval has been successfully cracking knotty problems. The country hopes that with his wisdom and commitments the people here can rest peacefully.
