Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release digital copies of 100 files related to Netaji Bose following government's decision to declassify files on the freedom fighter.
Terming the NDA dispensation 'illiterate' and insisting that it needs to 'rediscover' history, the Congress on Saturday said that the Centre should be absolutely accurate on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. "We as Congressmen and we as a nation are proud of him (Bose). We stand by all his acts of valour. We would like to remind the NDA dispensation in the hunt for icons, they need to rediscover history, because I find many among the NDA followers to be illiterate in history," Congress leader Tom Vadakkan said.
"We would like to make it clear that we have always desired that the files are declassified. Let me remind the Prime Minister that the Congress DNA has Subhas Chandra Bose writ large on it. We don't need to be reminded, nor need certificates from anybody on our commitment to Subhas ji," he added.
