Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

This question lacks a reference date. The Director General of NSG (National Security Guard) is a position that changes periodically. Without specifying the year or time period, it's impossible to verify who held the position at the referenced time. The name 'G.K Dutta' appears to be a typo, and this question seems to be from around 2008-2009 based on context.

Prakash Karat served as General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) from 2005 to 2015. This question appears to be from around 2008-2009 based on the surrounding questions. However, without a reference date, it's ambiguous. The CPI(M) has had multiple General Secretaries since then, including Sitaram Yechury and others.
