Probably the most damning part of the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose mystery relates to former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri's surprising and mysterious death in Tashkent, where he went for peace talks following the 1965 India-Pakistan war.
New Delhi: On the 120th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Prime Minister Narendra Modi saluted his valour, saying that it had played a major role in attaining independence for the country.
"I salute Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his birth anniversary. His valour played a major role in freeing India from colonialism," Modi tweeted.
He said Netaji Bose was a great intellectual who always thought about the interests and well-being of the marginalised sections of society.
On the occasion, Modi also highlighted that his government had declassified files on Bose.
"Honoured that our government got the opportunity to declassify files relating to Netaji Bose & fulfil a popular demand pending for decades," he said in another tweet.
