Netaji followers' group writes to Centre on Netaji files

New Delhi, Apr 22 (IBNS) Netaji Chetana Mancha, a group of followers of India's freedom struggle hero, wrote a letter to the union government demanding the completion of the unfinished work of Mukherjee Commission- which was formed to probe the alleged disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose after an air crash in 1945-in order to declassify all files related to the death of Bose.

The finding of the Mukherjee Commission, originally set up in 1999 when Atal Bihar Vajpayee was the Prime Minister, was later rejected by the then time home minister Shivraj Patil under a Congress rule in New Delhi.

The Justice Mukherjee Commission was a one-man board of Justice Manoj Mukherjee, a retired judge of the Supreme Court of India. After a 7 year inquiry, Mukherjee's findings that Bose did not die in the plane crash were rejected by the Congress government later.

The letter by the group also demanded that the present SIT(committee that looks into the declassification of Netaji files) should include academicians, researchers, judges and civil society members(apart from those of the Bose family).

The letter included a special mention about File No. 2 (67) 78-PM demanding its immediate disclosure. The file talks about the 'establishment of identity of Mrs. Anita'.

Two declassified files recently unravelled that India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru's government had order surveillance on Netaji's kin and it had continued for a period from 1948 to 1968 (Nehru died in 1964 though).
