Gandhi, Nehru saw Subhas Chandra Bose as threat to their positions, tweets Subramanian Swamy

April 12, 2015

New Delhi, Apr 12: BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Jawaharlala Nehru over the reported revelations that successive Congress governments had snooped on family members of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose for 20 years after independence.

Subramanian SwamySwamy took to microblogging website Twitter to show his distress saying self-interest is uppermost for the modern Indians.

The BJP leader's reaction comes amidst a political row over the Intelligence Bureau (IB) spying on Bose's two nephews, Sisir Kumar Bose and Amiya Nath Bose, sons of his brother Sarat Chandra Bose between 1948 and 1968. Jawaharlal Nehru was Prime Minister for 16 of these 20 years.

Senior BJP leader and Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had yesterday said snooping was in the "DNA" of the Congress.

With Congress being targeted over the snooping row, party's general secretary Digvijay Singh hit out at PM Narendra Modi, saying he had, as Gujarat Chief Minister, turned spying into an "art".

Yesterday, All India Forward Bloc, founded by Bose, demanded declassification of all Netaji files.

Party general secretary Debbrata Biswas said in a statement that the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government did not make available many documents to the Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry it had formed to go into the mysterious disappearance of Bose.

When under house arrest by the British, Netaji had escaped from India in 1941 to seek international support for the freedom struggle. After organising the Indian National Army with Japanese help to wage a war against the British, he had gone missing in 1945 and was believed to have died in a plane crash.

The Mukherjee Commission had, however, rejected the theory that Bose was killed in the crash in Taiwan on August 18, 1945.

Kanpur, Feb 20: Inspector general, Kanpur range, has ordered a probe into a woman's allegation that the cops misbehaved with her at Raipurwa police station when she went there with her father to lodge a complaint of harassment and eve-teasing.

The woman posted her complaint on the Twitter handle of Kanpur police.

The woman, 21, alleged that instead of listening to her complaint, Raipurwa cops asked her, "Zyada padh gayi ho, itna advance kisne bana dia hai, tumhare Papa ne?" (You are too educated. Who made you so advanced - your father?)

She further said that instead of taking necessary action on her complaint, the police forced her father to compromise with the accused, the son of her landlord, who harassed her on Monday.

The woman also stated that there were no female cops at the police station and she had to wait for several hours.

"Throughout my presence at the police station, I had to interact with male cops," she tweeted.

Inspector, Raipurwa, Sunil Kumar, however, has denied allegations.

"Her allegations are not true. Both the parties settled the dispute on their own," he said.

IG Range, Mohit Agarwal, meanwhile, said, "I have asked the SSP to initiate a probe in this regard and take action against guilty cops."

New Delhi, Jan 9: The Union government has removed the central security cover of Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister O Paneerselvam and DMK leader M K Stalin, officials said on Thursday.

They said while Paneerselvam had a smaller 'Y+' cover of central paramilitary commandos, Stalin had a larger 'Z+' protection.

The security cover of these two politicians has been taken off from the central security list after a threat assessment review was made by central security agencies and approved by the Union home ministry, they said.

Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) commandos were protecting these two leaders of Tamil Nadu.

However, they said, the central security cover will be formally taken off after the state police takes over their security task, they added.
