J N Dixit, the Irreplacable

The man whom the Prime Minister will meet and listen to at the end of any particular day, The man who is the eyes and the ears of the Prime Minister is the Principal secretary and the National Security Adviser. It was Mr J N Dixit. If the PM is the political face of the govenment, his principle secretary is the one who is actually running it. Such a man, National Security Adviser J N Dixit passed away on Jan 3rd.

The loss of this man is so important, so critical that, it is equivalent to losing the PM himself. It is unfortunate to lose a man of his caliber at a time when it was most needed. An expert on all south asian countries, which was the need of the hour has left us in troubled waters. He was right on track to ascertain us as a regional super power.

Mani Dixit, you will be missed.

Anyhow, let us pray that the one who is going to replace him has all his qualities.
