Kolkata: Research scholar Purabi Roy on Wednesday claimed that
thousands of men belonging to the Indian National Army (INA) were
massacred at a camp in 1946.
She made this revelation while addressing a discussion on the
implications of the Justice Manoj Mukherjee commission report.
"When Nehru visited Malaya to meet the INA men captured by the
British forces, three ships had already left for Chittagong, Madras
and Calcutta carrying the soldiers. About 29,000 INA men were taken
to a camp in Nilgunge and massacred when negotiations for the INA
property were on," Roy said.
"INA's property was worth $72,000 and that was divided among India,
Pakistan and Britain," she pointed out. Roy also claimed that the INA
owned gold mines, diamond mines and rubber plantations. Commenting on
the Centre's rejection of the Justice Mukherjee commission report,
Roy said successive Congress governments have not allowed the facts
regarding Subhas Chandra Bose to come out.
"Whenever they are in power, inquiries into Netaji's life and death
are aborted. For 12 years, I have been struggling with this subject.
Hopefully, one day we will be able to answer the questions raised by
Justice Mukherjee about what happened to Netaji if he did not die in
the air crash," she added.
Former Union human resources development minister Murli Manohar Joshi
said the Centre had not extended full cooperation to the Justice
Mukherjee commission. "Unless the Centre takes up the matter with the
Russian government, the archives there will not open their doors," he
claimed.
"In 1954, Prime Minister Nehru as foreign minister had received the
ashes and remains. If this is true then whose ashes are kept in
Renkoji? When the Shahnawaz committee was set up, the Indian
government was aware that the death certificates issued in Taiwan
were not related to Netaji but this fact was suppressed," he added.
Joshi said Netaji's early life has also been ignored. "It is not just
that his death is shrouded in mystery. Even his earlier life is not
presented properly. The history books eulogise only a few leaders. He
was the first person to set up an Indian government in-exile. He was
the first to declare India free."
