NEW DELHI: Chandra Kumar Bose, the grandnephew of freedom fighter and founder of Azad Hind Fauz Subhas Chandra Bose, made an appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring back “Netaji‘s mortal remains” from Japan’s Renkoji temple by August 18, 2024.
Chandra said that Netaji wanted to return to India after Independence, but could not as he died in the air crash.
“It is highly insulting that Netaji’s remains have been kept at the Renkoji temple,” said Chandra.
He in a letter addressed to the PM also rquested that the Centre should release a final statement to put an end to the “false narratives” surrounding Netaji’s death.
“It is therefore imperative that a final statement is made from the Government of India so that false narratives about the liberator of India are laid to rest. My humble appeal to you is to bring back the mortal remains of Netaji from Renkoji to India by August 18, 2024,” Bose wrote in a letter to PM Modi on Sunday.
Chandra further said that the NDA-led government took the initiative to declassify files related to the freedom fighter and it became clear that “Netaji perished on August 18, 1945” in an air crash in Taiwan following the release of all “10 inquiries – national and international,”
The former West Bengal BJP vice president in an interview with news agency PTI said that the declassification process has exposed secret files and documents that “conclusively establish that Netaji died in this air crash on August 18, 1945.”
He in the interview mentioned that Netaji’s daughter, Anita Bose Pfaff, desires to perform his last rites according to Hindu tradition.
“We have been writing to the prime minister for the last three-and-a-half years, that in order to honour the liberator of India, his remains must touch Indian soil,” said Chandra.
“If they feel that these remains are not of Netaji, then maintenance should not be provided to keep those at Renkoji. A statement is expected from the prime minister regarding this,” he added.
