We are very very angry, says Netaji's niece 

From New India Press 

KOCHI: Irked by the Centre's scant regard, Netaji's family is all 

set to act firmly on the official inquiry about his mysterious 

disappearance. 

 

"We are very angry. Parliament has put it aside without even having 

a discussion on the subject. We take the issue very seriously." This 

was the immediate reaction of Chitra Ghosh, Netaji Subhas Chandra 

Bose's niece, while speaking to this website's newspaper about 

Justice MK Mukherjee Commission report on the mysterious 

disappearance of Bose which was tabled in Parliament on Wednesday. 

 

While the government rejects the Commission's finding that Netaji 

did not die in a plane crash in Taiwan in 1945, the family members 

accept the one-man Commission's findings. "He has proved it 

conclusively. The myth that Netaji died in a plane crash has been 

proved wrong," said Chitra. 

 

Chitra Ghosh, a retired political science professor, is the daughter 

of Sarath Chandra Bose, Netaji's elder brother, who was a minister 

in the first interim Nehru Cabinet. She came to Kochi, along with 

her husband Subimal Ghosh, on a private visit in October. Then she 

had shared with this website's newspaper her fond memories as a 

10-year-old girl about Bose. 

 

It was during that period he left Kolkata with a firm conviction 

that "One can't get freedom across the table," according to Chitra. 

 

Chitra Ghosh, who wrote `Political Biography of Subhas Chandra 

Bose', believes that official history writing failed to recognise 

Netaji's contributions. "The government's reluctance to discuss the 

subject is yet another proof of it," she said. 

 

Even as the 61-year-old mystery of Bose's disappearance gets more 

complicated, Chitra believes her uncle will get a "rightful place in 

history as truth cannot be suppressed forever". 

  

  

  

Bose did not die in plane crash: Mukherjee Commission    

   New Delhi, PTI:    

    

      

   The Mukherjee Commission on alleged disappearance of Netaji   

Subhas Chandra Bose has inferred that he did not die in a plane   

crash in 1945 but Government today said in the Lok Sabha that it did   

not agree with the findings.    

    

The Government also disagreed with the Commission's report that the   

ashes in Renkoji Temple in Japan were not of that of Netaji.    

    

The Justice M K Mukherjee Commission concluded that Bose "is dead",   

"he did not not die in the plane crash, as alleged", "the ashes in   

the Japanese temple are not of Netaji" and that "in the absence of   

any clinching evidence a positive answer cannot be given" to the   

terms of reference.    

    

   

  The views of the Government were given in an Action Taken Report   

(ATR) along with the three-volume report of the Commission set up by   

the previous NDA Government in 1999 to inquire into the   

circumstances concerning departure of Bose from Bangkok in August   

1945, his reported death in an air crash and subsequent developments   

connected therewith.    

    

The ATR, tabled by Minister of State for Home S Regupathy along with   

the panel's findings, said Government has examined the Commission's   

report submitted to it on November 8 last year "in detail and has   

not agreed with the findings that -- Netaji did not die in a plane   

crash and the ashes in the Renkoji Temple were not of Netaji".    

    

The Commission said in the absence of any clinching evidence to   

prove that 'Bhagwanji-Gumnami Baba was Netaji, the question whether   

he (Netaji) died in Faizabad (in Uttar Pradesh) on September 16,   

1985 as testified by some of the witnesses, need not be answered".
