| PM Narendra Modi Declassifies 100 Secret Netaji Files On His Birth Anniversary

| On the 119th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today put in the public domain, for the first time, 100 secret files on the freedom fighter whose disappearance 70 years ago remains a mystery.
Flanked by Union ministers Mahesh Sharma and Babul Supriyo, PM Modi pressed a button, making public digital copies of the files that were on display at Delhi's National Archives of India (NAI) where twelve members of the Bose family were present.
"We welcome this step by Prime Minister wholeheartedly. This is a day of transparency in India," Chandra Kumar Bose, a grand nephew of Netaji said.
PM Modi had, in his meeting with members of the Bose family in October last year, announced that the government would declassify the files relating to the leader.
Two commissions of inquiry had concluded that Netaji died in a plane crash in Taipei on August 18, 1945. A third commission of inquiry and many people, including some of his relatives, have fiercely contested that theory.
"I don't believe the air crash theory. We may not get all the answers today but I do hope that some indications will be given," Chandra Bose had told NDTV earlier today
