Netaji death row: Mamata Banerjee takes on Centre over RTI response on Subhas Chandra Bose

Firstpost  

“Person of his stature does not deserve to be handled in such a casual manner,” Mamata Banerjee said about the Central Government’s reply to an RTI about Subhas Chandra Bose Reacting to the Centre’s announcement that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose died in a plane crash in response to an RTI query, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee took to social media to launch a war of words against the Central government. The report said that the Union home ministry stated that, “After considering the reports of Shahnawaz Committee, Justice GD Khosla Commission and Justice Mukherjee Commission of Enquiry, the Government has come to the conclusion that Netaji has died in plane crash in 1945.” The real time and date of Bose’s demise is still a contentious issue. The report said that Banerjee’s move actually aimed at putting pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre to declassify 135 secret files related to Bose. How can the government come to a conclusion regarding Netaji’s death without concrete evidence?” Bose, the Bengal BJP vice-president, said to PTI.
