Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Subhas Chandra Bose museum at Red Fort Wednesday to mark the leader's 122nd birth anniversary.
Modi will also visit the Yaad-e-Jallian Museum, (museum on the Jallianwala Bagh and World War I) and the Museum on 1857- India's first war of Independence and Drishyakala-Museum on Indian Art at the same venue, a statement from his office said.
The museum on Bose and the Indian National Army showcases various artefacts related to Subhas Chandra Bose and INA. The artefacts include wooden chair and sword used by the leader, medals, badges, uniforms and other artefacts related to the INA.
Last year in October, Prime Minister Modi had hoisted tricolour at the Red Fort to mark the 75th anniversary of the 'Azad Hind Government'. He had also laid the foundation stone of the museum dedicated to the Azad Hind Fauj.
Azad Hind Fauj or the Indian National Army was formed by Indian nationalists in 1942 in Southeast Asia during World War II to secure Indian independence from British rule. Bose had announced the formation of the country's first independent government - 'Azad Hind Government' - on October 21, 1943.
