Jawahar Lal Nehru referred to Subhash Chandra Bose as a ‘war criminal’ in of the files, sources who have knowledge of the Netaji files that are being declassified have said.
A letter was written to the Prime Minister of England Clement Attlee on Dec 27, 1945.
"Dear Mr Attlee, I understand from reliable sources that Suhas Chandra Bose, your war criminal, has been allowed to enter Russian territory by Stalin. This is a clear treachery and betrayal of faith by the Russians as Russia has been an ally of the British-Americans, which she should not have done. Please take note of it and do what you consider proper and fit," Pandit Nehru wrote in his letter.
The letter is signed, "Yours Sincerely, Jawaharlal Nehru,".
This letter is likely to spark political storm in the country as it has been allegedly said that Nehru was unfair to the legacy of Netaji.
This letter was written four months after Netaji Bose’s supposed death in plane crash in Taipie on August 18, 1945.The letter also reveals that Nehru did not believed that Netaji lost his life in the plane crash.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will declassify 100 Netaji files on Saturday. Out of 100 files, 33 are from the PMO and others from the MEA and MHA.
