Centre should declassify Netaji files: K N Govindacharya

Lucknow: Social activist and thinker K N Govindacharya today said the Centre should follow the West Bengal government and declassify documents related to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose to put an end to all speculations.

“All files related to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose should be declassified to put an end to all speculations,” RSS ideologue and former BJP general secretary Govindacharya told reporters here.

“The West Bengal government has declassified 64 files related to Netaji. Now it’s the responsibility of the Centre to declassify all documents,” he said.

Different people were giving different views on the disappearance of Netaji. “Two things we are certain about – first Netaji did not die in the plane crash and second bodies recovered from the site were that of Japanese soldiers,” he said.

The West Bengal government had recently declassified 64 files related to Netaji and demanded the Centre to follow suit.

Leaders from various fronts have been demanding declassification of files related to Netaji.
