Centre to release all documents on Netaji

KOLKATA, JAN. 23. The Centre will release all documents required by the Mukherjee Commission to inquire into the mystery behind the disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the Railway Minister, Ms. Mamata Banerjee, told presspersons here today. It was willing to help the Commission pursue the matter `objectively' and reach a conclusion on the disappearance of Netaji in 1945.

Earlier, she spoke on the occasion of Netaji's 104th birth anniversary celebration at the Netaji Bhavan. The West Bengal Governor, Mr. Viren J. Shah, recounted his brief meeting with the ``extraordinarily great person'' when Netaji was Congress president, and called for ``translating his dreams into reality''.

The Union Minister of State for Communications, Mr. Tapan Sikdar, released a stamp on Netaji.

Netaji's compatriot and chief of INA's Rani of Jhansi Regiment, Col. Lakshmi Sahgal, said the legendary leader had died in the Taihoku plane crash and there was no need to ``set up commission after commission to inquire into his so-called disappearance''.
