Earlier speculations were rife that Doval is not interested in continuing as NSA and has asked the PM Modi to relieve him from duty due to health issues.

He has held the position since 30 May 2014. Doval is the fifth National Security Advisor of India. Prior to this, Shivshankar Menon was the National Security Advisor of India.
