If words of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's grandnephew are to be believed, Netaji was India's first Prime Minister.
According to Chandra Bose, history of India's freedom struggle needs rectification.
“Netaji established provisional government of free India in 1943. Pt Nehru was the second Prime Minister,” Bose was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Netaji's family says rectification should be done for proper documentation of his role in Indian freedom movement.
"The history of India's independence has not been written properly and there has been distortions. We feel that the role of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army (INA) has not been properly portrayed. We feel that the present government at the Centre should rectify the distortions in various published accounts of Indian freedom movement and the role of Netaji and INA should be properly documented," Chandra Kumar Bose said.
Bose, who is the vice-president of West Bengal unit of BJP, said "There should be proper examination of all theories on Netaji's disappearance which have been in circulation with a view to arrive at a logical conclusion." Bose who along with other members of the leader's family such as Chitra Ghosh and Abhijit Roy, Netaji's niece and grandnephew respectively, demanded that the central government should take effective measures to unravel the mystery surrounding Netaji's disappearance.
"We thank the government for declassifying all files pertaining to Netaji on January 23, 2016. But not much has been unearthed since that decision was taken.
"We feel that a high powered special investigation team should be formed to scrutinize all documents that are released and prepare a report to be placed in both houses of Parliament," he said.
Netaji had gone missing in 1945 and some of his family members have rejected the theory that he had died in a plane crash in Taihoku in Taiwan on August 18 that year.
Last year on January 23, Netaji's 119th birth anniversary, 100 secret files were made public by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
