West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today announced that 64 files on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose lying with the state’s Home Department would be declassified and put in public domain from next Friday.
Acknowledging that there was a long-standing demand for the declassification of the files on Bose, Banerjee said there might be one or two more files in the possession of the government.
Asked if the state would request the Centre to declassify files it has in its possession, Banerjee said, “It is for the Centre to decide, but we want the truth about Netaji to come out. It is for you people (journalists) to find out what happened to him.”
