The Centre will take a decision on declassification of files held by it related to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose only after studying its impact on India’s relations with other countries, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said here on Saturday. The senior BJP leader, however, said his personal view was that the people of the country have a right to know the truth on the Netaji issue.
“The West Bengal Government has made public certain confidential files related to Netaji. It is good... It needs to be studied what is there in those files before the Centre takes such a decision, its impact on the international community, our relations with other countries, neighbouring countries, needs to be studied.... The Centre will have to take a final decision after studying that... Government will think of it and decide how and when to do it,” Naidu told reporters on the sidelines of an event.
