Netaji disappearance: Kin approach Modi for probe


Kolkata, July 18 (IANS): Family members of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose have approached Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking an SIT to probe the "disappearance mystery" of the nationalist leader.

Subhash Chandra Bose was declared killed in an air crash over Taipei, Chinese Taipei (formerly Formosa) Aug 18, 1945. But, many people doubted his death and though numerous commissions were set up, nothing could be found about his whereabouts. 

The Open Platform for Netaji comprising a host of descendants of the nationalist leader and researchers who have been steadfastly campaigning for declassification of secret Netaji files, Thursday wrote to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), also seeking rectification of "distorted written history" concerning Bose and the freedom movement.

"The prime minister has asked for a proposal from us regarding what the central government can do as regards our declassification campaign. Accordingly, we now have sent out a detailed proposal which includes formation of an SIT (Special Investigation Team) to probe his disappearance," Platform convener and Netaji grandnephew Chandra Kumar Bose Friday told IANS.

He said the SIT to be headed by a leading Supreme Court judge should have historians, researchers and officials from relevant central departments and agencies, including the Intelligence Bureau, Central Bureau of Intelligence and the External Affairs Ministry.

"The SIT will scrutinise all the declassified documents and interview, cross-examine witnesses and people concerned," he said.

"The existing distortions in the written history of the Indian freedom struggle should be rectified. A fuller and accurate history of India's freedom struggle, the role of revolutionaries like Netaji, Rashbehari Bose, Bhagat Singh, Jatin Das among others should be well documented in school and college text books," he added.

The Platform has also asked for setting up of a central research centre with the objective of conducting research on Netaji and the freedom movement of India, as well as renaming the National Defence Academy after Netaji.

    Declassification of files may prove that Japan and British jointly played a foul game with Netaji
    In WW-I, Japan was an ally of British. Before WW-II, Japan-US trade war and political war started, this led to actual war between US and Japan. So British became an enemy to Japan by diplomatic manipulation as US - British alliance was there. After WW-II, Japan revived their old connection with British via spies. Japanese and British spies were enough linked before WW-II. Japanese spies agreed to eliminate Netaji. Motive was to appease the British and purchase security for Japan royal family. Thus, Japan handed over Netaji to British and British uted him in secrete. The false news of air crash was Japan’s fabrication. In any controversial case, liar is to be suspected first.
    Netaji’s plan to start second independence war with the help of USSR was known to Japan. There was enough scope for British and Japanese spies to develop a common minimum program against pro-communist agenda of Netaji. Why should Japanese imperialism agree to patronize emergence of independent India as a permanent communist ally? Is it not more logical to fulfill British condition and purchase favor? Why Japan royal family was not tried as a war criminal? What is the mystery behind this favor?
    There is another point about gumnami baba. Who was he? Gumnami baba was a dummy created as a part of common minimum program of Japanese imperialism and British imperialism. In axis camp, creation of dummy by plastic surgery was a common practice. Hitler and Mussolini were having number of dummies. Japan sold Netaji-dummy to British. British deputed this dummy at faizabad of Uttar Pradesh, with a purpose to create confusion that as if Netaji’s death or life is doubtful. The confusion prevented the nation to be doubtful about role of Japan or British. So gumnami baba of faizabad is a common creation of Japanese spies and British spies. Never had he told the truth. If he had told anything, that must be lie. In a controversial case, liar is to be suspected. So, Japan sold Netaji to British and British uted him in secret. Japan sold Netaji-dummy to British and British deputed him at faizabad of Uttar-Pradesh. Japan surrendered to US-UK side on 15th august 1945. Netaji’s last flight was on 18th august 1945. A surrendered Japan was no longer an ally of azad hind. They worked as per their new mentors, the British.
