Pm narendra modi releases 100 secret files on netaji subhas chandra bose

“The government has written to the concerned foreign governments to declassify all files or papers related to Netaji”, the statement said. Gandhi reportedly also sent a telegram to Bose’s family telling them not to perform his funeral.

It has been claimed that Gandhiji wrote a letter to Netaji’s kin asking them not to perform Netaji’s ‘shradh’ (a Hindu ritual which is performed for the peace of soul of a dead person). Bose said, “It will take time to go through the files released by the Centre but all the files with the Centre should have been released together”.

“Allow me to offer my gratitude for your understanding and sympathy with which you listened to my plea about the disposition of Netaji Chandra Bose’s ashes still lying in a temple in Tokyo”.

Sen said, “right now in the country, there is a sense of division which has often been cultivated along communal lines so much so that the word secularism is often used as a bad word…”

The PMO in the letter also said that AICC was sending Rs 6,000 annually to Anita up to 1964 and stopped it in 1965 after her marriage.

Similarly, hundreds of functions were also held in the city and other places of the State on the day to observe Netaji Jayanti by holding padayatra, cycle rallies, art exhibition, blood donation camps and several competitions and cultural programmes among school and college students.

Just ahead of the declassification ceremony, an aged family member broke down in the presence of the Prime Minister. Emilie Schenkl – till she passed away in March 1996, believed Netaji did not die in any air crash.

Modi also launched a webportal https://netajipapers.gov.in to release digital version of 100 files.

11 am: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said people who “had no role in the freedom struggle” just wanted the files in the public domain to create trouble, ANI reported, but he added that they must be declassified.

Mudie’s letter and a note, dated August 23, 1945, dealt with Bose’s influence over nearly 30,000 Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj) and said “it affects all races, castes and communities nearly equally strongly”.

In 2012, 1030 files and items pertaining to the Khosla Commission and Justice Mukherjee Commission were received from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Attacking the Congress, he said, “While the entire country has expressed happiness over the files being made public, Congress is doing petty politics on this issue as well”.
