RAJYA SABHA
The National Security Advisory
Board (NSAB) provides inputs to the Government on a variety of
security related issues from time to time. The reports, assessments
and policy recommendations prepared by the NSAB are sent to the
National Security advisor on a regular basis. These are then fed
to the National Security Council (NSC)/Cabinet Committee on Security.
An interaction between the NSC and the NSAB chaired by the Prime
Minister was organized on Oct 16, 2002. Earlier, the Prime Minister
had taken a meeting of NSAB on June 08, 1999 which was also attended
by the members of the National Security Council. In the meeting
held on Oct 16, 2002, the NSAB reviewed the national security
situation and inter-alia issues arising from the continuing cross-border
terrorism, the recent elections in Pakistan and successful conclusion
of elections in Jammu and Kashmir were analysed. The NSAB made
a series of recommendations as to how India should deal with the
current situation. It would, however, not be in the national interest
to divulge specific details in this regard.
This information was given
by the Defence Minister Shri George Fernandes in a written reply
to Shri Nana Deshmukh in Rajya Sabha today.
