Subhas Chandra Bose's family on the government's decision to conduct any probe into reports of surveillance on family members by the Intelligence Bureau for 20 years.

Chandra K Bose, Netaji's grandnephew says, "When Surya Bose met PM Modi in Berlin, he had a very positive discussion with the PM. The PM has given us assurance; let us give him some time. The snooping angle will also be clarified the moment these files are put in the public domain.  These 164 files have to be declassified in order to find the truth of Subhas Chandra Bose's disappearance. There are 100 files with the government and 64 with the Bengal government. It's no longer a family issue, it;s the people's demand. How can the elected government reject the people's demand for declassification."


Last month, the NDA government has constituted a committee to examine the provisions of the Official Secrets Act (OSA), framed by the British in 1923, in the light of the RTI, amid growing clamour to declassify the files related to Bose.
