Unravel mystery behind Netaji's death: War veteran

As the Centre considers to confer Netaji Subash Chandra Bose with Bharat Ratna, a second World War veteran today said that efforts need to be made to reveal how he met his end.
"We owe it to Netaji that the truth of his end should be known to the countrymen. None of the previous governments took steps to retrieve vital evidence connected to his death from foreign countries especially Russia," said Abbas Ali, a second World War captain and member of Indian National Army formed by Bose in 1942.
94-year-old war veteran also rued the treatment meted out to the freedom fighters in the country.

"What has always been painful to all of us who fought under Netaji in the INA was that at the time of Independence, we were not inducted into the Indian Army. We staked our lives for the cause of the country's freedom but were not even treated under the category of freedom fighters," he told PTI.
Abbas rejected the move of tokenism and demanded justice for the country's "greatest freedom fighter".
"The soul of our beloved leader will not be at peace simply on the basis of tokenism," he said.
