Netaji must be given Leader of the Nation title: Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Saturday Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose “must be given the title (of) Leader of the Nation”, minutes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi declassified a set of files relating to the freedom fighter.

“Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose must be given the title ‘Leader of the Nation’. He deserves that honour,” Ms. Banerjee tweeted.

“We believe that the truth about the last days of Netaji must come out through documentation and proof.

“It is our responsibility towards the young and future generation to share with them the truth...,” she said in a series of tweets.
