New Delhi: Seeking the declassification of KGB files related to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, two members of the Netaji family will be meeting Narendra Modi on Wednesday.

According to media sources, the family is keen on seeing the files and has said that in order to get conclusive evidence about the fate of Netaji, it is very important for them to see the files. “These are old files and won’t get released unless the matter is taken up at the level of the Prime Minister,” Netaji’s grandnephew Chandra Bose said.

He added that during the meeting he and his sister, Madhuri, will try to impress upon PM Modi to personally ask Russian President Vladimir Putin about the classified files.

“We are sure that Netaji did not die in the air crash in Taiwan on August 18, 1945. He either went to China or the erstwhile Soviet Union. The KGB files are therefore very crucial,” Netaji’s grandnephew said to the media.

The issue was also raised by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj with the Russian foreign minister during a meeting in Moscow. The Indian government, it has been reported, has already decided to declassify all the files related to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose from January 23.
