Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda today said that the files pertaining to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose should be declassified and the truth should come out.
"The Netaji files should be declassified and laid in the Parliament. The truth should come out", Hooda, a Lok Sabha MP from Rohtak constituency, told reporters here.
The statement from the Congress Parliamentarian came amidst the growing demand for declassification of the files by a section of Netaji's household, particularly after revelation of reports of snooping on his kin's family.
Saying that Netaji and Jawaharlal Nehru were never at loggerheads as portrayed in the media, Hooda said that both of them had the same economic ideology of socialism.
"In fact, Sardar Patel and Netaji were at loggerheads, and not Bose and Nehru", he said.
The friendship between them was such that Netaji named his INA regiments after Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi and and Maulana Azad.
Hooda said that he had moved a private member bill in the budget session for creation of two regiments in the Indian Army named after Bose.
"I think this is the most unique way of showing respect to the great leader", he said.
