January 9th, 2008 Its 2008. Netaji has been in missing status for nearly 63 years. Some people believe that he died in 1945. Some people believe that he escaped to Soviet Union and died there. Hmm… so many stories! Nobody knows the reality for sure. Unfortunately no government considered any Non-Gandhi freedom fighter and their followers as freedom fighters. The Government don’t want the posterity to lament that we wouldn’t care for the man who went missing while fighting for India’s liberation. Government ran puppet shows on the name of enquire commissions. Shah Nawaz Khan Committee of 1956 and Justice GD Khosla Commission of 1970. Both had declared Netaji was died in an air crash. They collected all the documents including documents submitted by Indian Intelligence agencies to Nehru and concluded so. Justice M.K. Mukherjee Commission done little shiny job, trashed previous commissions’ job. As usually process lead to Ground ZERO. But no report or no document is open for public. Some people tried to retrieve those documents which are covered by bureaucratic steal curtains using Right to Information Act 2005. Government tried to ruin the attempts by saying the documents sought were voluminous, top secret in nature and may lead to law-and-order issues. But Central Information Commission had given breath to the efforts. They pushed the Government to verify whether these documents are really cause Law-and-Order issues. Now all the documents are in the hands of Cabinet Committee. They are verifying from last few months (?). Nobody knows when they will spell out. Till then, Netaji is still Missing. One More Interesting issue is, Government of Taiwan never confirmed the Netaji’s Plain Crash. Its all investigated and declared by Government of India. Compiled by Me as 23rd January is Netaji’s Birthday. Of Course my Birthday too
