Netaji's grandnephew appeals to PM to bring back his remains from Japan

Legendary freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose's grandnephew Chandra Kumar Bose on Sunday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring back the "mortal remains of Netaji" from Japan's Renkoji by August 18. He also said a final statement should come from the central government on the matter so that false narratives about Netaji are laid to rest. Stating that the NDA-led government took initiative to declassify files related to the freedom fighter, Bose said after the release of all the "10 inquiries - national and international", it is evident that "Netaji perished on August 18, 1945" in an air crash in Taiwan. "It is therefore imperative that a final statement is made from the Government of India so that false narratives about the liberator of India are laid to rest," Bose wrote in a letter to Modi on Sunday. "My humble appeal to you is to bring back the mortal remains of Netaji from Renkoji to India by August 18, 2024," he said. In an interview to PTI Videos, Bose, who was a
