New Delhi: Former national security adviser Major-General Mahmud Ali Durrani may have been Pakistan's last NSA. Reports coming in from Pakistan say the government is not planning to appoint a new National Security Advisor in the near future.
Top officials are debating whether to abolish the office of NSA altogether.
Durrani was sacked recently by the government for saying that Ajmal Amir Kasab could be a Pakistani, a remark the government says was made without authorisation.
Differences surfaced between President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani over Durrani's ouster.
Durrani, a former general, had advocated improving India-Pakistan ties and was seen by some critics as too pro-American. There had been no public sign or media speculation in recent days that he was on his way out.
He declined to comment on his ouster, but said he wished the government luck.
