Demanding declassification of the Netaji files, family members of the late freedom fighter have planned to take out a series of rallies in different cities of the country.

On June 5, under the banner of Mumbai-based Netaji Subhas Ekta Manch, some members of Netaji family including Chandra Kumar Bose (Bose’s grand nephew), Ardhendu Bose and Suneepa Dutta would be holding a rally and public meeting in Mumbai’s Azad Maidan.

On the same day, another rally has been planned in Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Lok Sabha constituency, where Netaji researcher Anuj Dhar would be present along with some other family members.

“We are getting support on the declassification issue from people in different cities. In association with local clubs, Netaji lovers and other organisations, we have planned a series of rallies in different cities. This will help us put pressure on the government to declassify files,” Netaji’s grand nephew Chandra Bose said.

He said they are also planning rallies in Silchar, Bangalore and Bhubaneswar later in the month.

When in Mumbai, they will also submit a memorandum to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeking support for their demands.
