Files pertaining to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in the State government's custody, will be put in the public domain, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced on Friday.
At a press meet at the Secretariat at Nabanna, she said, "We are doing this for the sake of transparency and accountability.. people should know.”
" He [SubhasChandra Bose] lived here, engaged in politics from here, launched his struggles from here, yet we do not know what happened to him after he left.. it is a mystery ", Ms Banerjee said adding that she too did not know that volumes of files were lying locked all this while in the city.
These files would now be readied and kept in the Police Archives for all to see. It was up to the media to unravel the truth. "People must know the truth."
The move was initiated after checking all angles, including those of the country's security, the Chief Minister said..
