Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday de-classified 100 files related to the disappearance of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. This comes on the 119th birth anniversary of the freedom fighter.
The Prime Minister paid homage to Netaji ahead of de-classification of files at the National Archives in the national capital.
While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) patted its own back for the development, the Congress accused the Prime Minister of trying to gain political mileage by declassifying the files.
Earlier on Saturday, Netaji's relatives had welcomed the government's decision to de-classify the files.
Meanwhile, over the past few days, a UK-based website – www.bosefiles.info - has released a series of witness statements seeking to solve the controversy over the death of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
The website claims that its 25 years of investigation and research have showed that Netaji died in a plane crash near Taipei airfield in Taiwan on August 18, 1945.
It also says that on January 29, it will upload more information on 'how to prove remains at Tokyo's Renkoji temple belong to Subhas Bose'.
The website, run by UK-based independent journalist and Bose's grandnephew Ashis Ray, uploaded the information after the NDA government decided to declassify 100 documents on Netaji.
