As part of the nationwide agitation call given by the Central Committee of the All India Forward Bloc, the Odisha State committee here on Wednesday held a civil disobedience programme in protest against the adamant attitude of the BJP-led NDA Government in declassifying all files related to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Indian National Army (INA).
“The Union Government’s apathy to resolve the mysterious disappearance of the patriotic leader is condemnable. Since Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was a great patriotic, the Government should declare January 23 (Birthday of Netaji) as Desh Prem Divas,” said All India Forward Bloc, State joint convenor Jyoti Ranjan Mohapatra.
Around 300 protesters, who were court arrested also demanded institution of another Inquiry Commission to unearth the mystery behind the disappearance of Netaji and setting up of an INA War Memorial at Red Fort, New Delhi.
