PM Modi to meet Netaji's family members today
About 35 members of the family from different parts of the globe are expected to seek declassification of all the files related to Netaji, whose disappearance seven decades ago is still the subject of a raging debate.
The Prime Minister had announced the visit in his monthly radio address 'Mann Ki Baat' on September 20. In a tweet on Tuesday night, he described it as a special day and an "honour".
"Tomorrow is a very special day. I will meet family members of Subhas Babu at my residence. It is an honour to host them," he tweeted.
On September 18, the West Bengal government had declassified 64 files related to Netaji. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had said the Centre should follow the lead of the state government.
