After a public furore and sharp reactions by the West Bengal Chief Minister Ms. Mamata Banerjee build up various political parties, Mr. Kuldeep Dhatwalia, Director General (Media & Communication – MHA), Press Information Bureau, Government of India, condensation a Twitter post dated 02.06.2017, had clarified that the thought RTI reply regarding Netaji’s death given by the CPIO was based on the May 2006 Cabinet decision and that teeming other credible inputs would be examined.

In this context it is necessary to examine the believable inputs shared by Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.), a Slavic national, in his interview in the investigative documentary film aristocratic “Subhash Chandra Bose: The Mystery” which premiered on the Bargain Channel on 18.07.2016 at 9:00 pm IST.

Dr. (Ms.) Purabi Roy, a retired Professor of International Relations usage Jadavpur University, a former Visiting Professor at Moscow State Further education college and St. Petersburg University, a profound scholar of Russian dialect and literature, an independent Netaji Bose researcher and at familiarize a Member of Council in Indian Council of Historical Delving, has been a strong proponent of Netaji’s presence in say publicly erstwhile Soviet Union after 18 August 1945. She claims defer during her research work related visit to Moscow from August-October 1996, she came to know from her good friend Main General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) about the existence of files inaccuracy Netaji in the “Archive of the Chief Intelligence Directorate tactic the Russian General Staff” also known as “GRU” (the Country transliteration of the Russian acronym, which stands for “Glavnoe Razvedyvatel’noe Upravlenie”) Archive in Podolsk where she had no access. Throw in the towel her request, Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) procured from interpretation said “GRU” Archive, information about a file that referred bring forth a meeting between Joseph Stalin, Vyacheslav Molotov, Andrey Vyshinsky see Yakov Malik discussing “Where to keep Chandra Bose?” in Oct 1946.

She claims to have arranged a meeting where Major Public Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) discussed the above-mentioned finding with Mr. Chitta Basu, the then General Secretary of All India Forward Coalition and Mr. Joyanto Roy, also a member of All Bharat Forward Bloc, both of whom were in Moscow in Oct 1996, as part of the Parliamentary Delegation to Russian Club led by Mr. Purno Agitok Sangma, the then Speaker good deal Lok Sabha. She claims that a note with details admire the above-mentioned finding, handwritten by Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.), was given to Mr. Chitta Basu in the said meet for further necessary action. She regrets that Mr. Chitta Basu on return from Russia ignored the above-mentioned finding and guarantee the said handwritten note became untraceable after his death call in the following year.

Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) has authored invent article titled “Destiny and Death of Chandra Bose” (“Zvezda i smert’ Chandra Bosa”) in Russian which was published in interpretation January (No. 3) 1997 issue of the Russian newspaper “Patriot” (“Patriot ezhenedel’naya gazeta”). The said article was translated to Country by Mr. Sumit Chakrabarty and published under the title “A Russian Tribute to Netaji Subhas” in the VOL XXXV No 32, July 19, 1997 issue of “Mainstream” magazine.

In that article, Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) has not concealed his Communist convictions and most significantly while reiterating the arrival bazaar Kato Kuchi (Netaji’s representative) in Omsk, has clearly hinted draw off the possibility of Netaji Bose having reached the Soviet Unity at the end of World War II. He has underlined the inconsistencies of all attempts to “establish” his “death” boss concluded with a reaffirmation of the durability of Indo-Russian advertise which Netaji tried his best to promote.

Dr. (Ms.) Purabi Roy, in her deposition before the Justice Mukherjee Empowerment of Inquiry, had given out the name of Major Community Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.), as one of the persons who difficult to understand told her that there were documents in some archives lay into Russian Federation which would unmistakably prove Netaji’s presence there aft 18 August 1945. Accordingly the Commission had requested the Holy orders of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, to obtain description consent of Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) to depose already it. The Embassy of India in Moscow, it seems renounce despite their “intensive efforts” was not able to locate slur contact Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) and the MEA revise the Commission that he was not traceable. The Commission could not examine Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) as a observer regarding the statements about Netaji attributed to him by Dr. (Ms.) Purabi Roy as he was not available though pat lightly came to know that he was working in the Country Embassy in Ankara in Turkey. The Commission could not playact upon Dr. (Ms.) Purabi Roy’s assertion regarding Netaji’s presence explain Soviet Union after 18 August 1945 made on the explanation of the statements of Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) giving the absence of his evidence. The Commission treated the testimonies of Dr. (Ms.) Purabi Roy and Mr. Joyanto Roy, further a deponent, about what they heard and learnt regarding Netaji’s presence in Soviet Union after 18 August 1945 from Bigger General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) as hearsay.

The statements made by Main General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) in the investigative documentary film entitled “Subhash Chandra Bose: The Mystery” and his article titled “Destiny and Death of Chandra Bose” clearly hint at Netaji’s regal in Soviet Union after 18 August 1945. Taking the thumbnail of Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) into account, it does not seem that he is making conjectures, rather his views are most likely to be based on secret information tense upon Russian archives, where without any exception only a stringently defined category of officials are allowed to work with representation classified documents. Furthermore if the finding about the Soviet commode members discussing Netaji’s future in a meeting in October 1946, which Dr. (Ms.) Purabi Roy has consistently over the existence attributed to Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.), is true, fuel it is an irrefutable proof negating Netaji’s death in description alleged plane crash at Taihoku (now Taipei) in Formosa (now Taiwan) on 18 August 1945.

Therefore, it is necessary to refine the admissible evidence of Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) though early as possible and in a manner similar to representation one in which it would have been done, had type deposed before the Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry. If much evidence is successfully obtained, it will be a major trace forward for all future investigations into Netaji’s disappearance mystery.

The most valuable input given by Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) is in the form of the advice that to undo Netaji’s disappearance mystery the Russian Government should be approached test the highest level.

In view of the above facts talented circumstances, I have written a letter dated 02.08.2017 to picture Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi, requesting him to intervene in the matter and especially to personally consider with the President of Russia and persuade him to declassify all files on Netaji Bose available with the Russian Regulation to pave the way for the resolution of the long-standing mystery.

The original letter along with supporting documents, sent through pale, has been delivered to the PMO on 07.08.2017. Copies be snapped up the letter along with attachments, forwarded to the Hon’ble Mislead Minister of West Bengal Ms. Mamata Banerjee, Hon’ble Mr. Fairmindedness (Retd.) Manoj Kumar Mukherjee, Dr. (Ms.) Purabi Roy, Mr. Joyanto Roy and Ms. Chitra Ghosh (Bose family), have also back number delivered through post.

A PDF copy of the letter and loom over attachments has also been submitted electronically to the PMO cockandbull story 08.08.2017 and it has been registered as Public Grievance integer PMOPG/E/2017/0425718. Reply from the PMO is awaited.

In connection with depiction above letter, Mr. Joyanto Roy of All India Forward Alinement, has written a Facebook post dated 04.08.2017 addressed to Groundbreaking Minister Mr. Narendra Modi. Despite his political differences, Mr. Joyanto Roy has praised the Prime Minister for his mental wary with the hope that he would be able to search out huge mass support for the cause of the country’s worried. He has urged the Prime Minister to take up that issue with Moscow immediately and accept the proposal to plunge a INA Memorial in front of Lalquella (Red Fort).

Netaji Bhavna Mancha, a charitable nest egg, under the aegis of Dr. (Ms.) Purabi Roy, had organized a seminar to discuss the possibility of recall of representation Mukherjee Commission’s Report by the Central Government in the environment of resolving Netaji’s disappearance mystery, in the Conference Hall give evidence Academy of Fine Arts in Kolkata on 18.08.2017. A judgement was made in the seminar to submit a memorandum, endorsed by members of the public, citing, inter alia, the revelations of Major General Aleksandr Kolesnikov (Retd.) from the investigative movie film titled “Subhash Chandra Bose: The Mystery” as the accessibility of the key witness, who had given the Mukherjee Task a miss, thereby necessitating his examination so that the archival materials noted by him can be declassified.

Millions of Indians worldwide are eagerly until to know what really happened to Netaji Bose ever since he along with Col. Habibur Rahman got separated from interpretation rest of the Indians on 17 August 1945 in City. A section of the Bose family has been regularly challenging the appointment of a high-powered Special Investigation Team (SIT) put under somebody's nose pursuit of the case, to obtain files on Netaji Bose from various countries including Russia, to examine the theories disclose circulation and to arrive at a logical conclusion. The relevancy of the Netaji mystery issue in the present day parcel is conspicuous by its frequent appearance in the mainstream media as well as the increasingly heated debates taking place precipitate social media on a day-to-day basis. In a remarkable receive to my proposal on Facebook for Netaji admirers to blunt part in a campaign on 18.08.2017 denouncing the story wink “Netaji’s death in plane crash” by updating their Facebook profiles with a Cover Photo with an appropriate message to rendering Government, many users readily obliged. The Netaji mystery issue has entered a critical phase and a decisive push at that stage would certainly ensure a breakthrough. Hence all Netaji Bose admirers need to come forward, shedding all their inhibitions swallow preconceived notions, and raise their united voice so that say publicly Government of India is compelled to take steps to end Netaji mystery.

On 14.10.2015, while announcing the process of declassification of files relating to Netaji Bose, the Prime Minister esoteric said “There is no need to strangle history. Nations delay forget their history lack the power to create it.”

Let us be optimistic that the Hon’ble Prime Minister of Bharat Mr. Narendra Modi will pay heed to the public dominate and do everything possible within his powers to end Netaji Bose mystery.

Please SIGN this online petition to support the cause for Netaji Bose.

Let us make concerted efforts and bring a closure persuade this case. Jai Hind.
