Netaji files: Govt forms panel to decide on declassification

Update: 2015-04-16 00:03 GMT
An inter-ministerial committee, headed by Cabinet Secretary Ajit Seth, has been set up by the government to look at the possibility of declassification of all files related to death or disappearance of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose nearly 70 years back. The first meeting of panel, which consists of representatives of the Ministries of Home and External Affairs, R&AW, and Intelligence Bureau, is likely to take place on Thursday, official sources said on Wednesday.

The NDA government’s move came amidst growing demands for declassification of nearly 90  files which are yet to be made public. Interestingly, grandnephew of Bose, Surya Kumar Bose, had met PM Modi in Berlin on Tuesday and requested him declassify all files related to events since his death.
