Netaji kin today said they have appealed Prime Minister Narendra Modi to set up a timeframe within which all files relating to Subhash Chandra Bose should be declassified.

"We have requested him to set up a timeframe within which all the files should get declassified. We don't want it to become a never ending process," Netaji grand-nephew Chandra Bose told PTI.

After 100 classified Netaji files were released today in Delhi, 25 such files will be released every month from the National Archives and uploaded on a dedicated website.

"We believe there are roughly 1,000 files with the government," he said adding, he and Netaji researcher Anuj Dhar have seen the files but, did not find anything conclusive.
 

"We have found nothing conclusive so far through which we can say whether he died or not in the air crash," Bose said adding, one of the files indicate that he didn't die in the air crash in 1945.

"But we are happy that the process of transparency has started. The era of suppression of facts has gone," he said.
