TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ India needs a strong, stable and decisive government for the next 10 years to achieve its political, economic and strategic objectives, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval said Thursday, asserting that “weak coalitions will be bad” for the country. Delivering the Sardar Patel Memorial Lecture, he claimed that in the past four years, the country’s “national will” has been aroused.
The National Security Advisor also said that India should prepare for fourth generation warfare which may involve fighting “invisible enemies”. The possession of superior weapons and a large army may not be enough to win wars as technology could play an important role, he said while speaking on the topic “Dream India 2030 — Avoiding the Pitfalls”.
Advocating 100 per cent technology transfer in defence hardware, he asserted that the government’s aim was to make India self sufficient in this field. The NSA also cautioned against building up of false narratives which, he said, was among the biggest factors that could erode the strength of the nation. Doval asserted that no nation can progress unless it strengthens its private sector.
