Chaturvedi further said marking EAM S Jaishankar, “It shall be our greatest honour to commemorate Netaji’s sacrifice and dedication towards independence of India by fulfilling his last wish of returning to the Indian soil.”
“I request you to make a note of the request of Ms. Anita Bose Pfaff and expeditiously take all such diplomatic and other measures to bring Netaji home and duly acknowledge his insurmountable contributions in India’s freedom struggle. This shall indeed be a true tribute to our forefathers who sacrificed their lives for India’s freedom,” Chaturvedi wrote.
“On the solemn occasion of Subhas Chandra Boseji’s death anniversary, I urge the Prime Minister of India & MEA to bring Netaji’s ashes back home. Even his daughter has appealed that it should be done, as that was what the great freedom fighter desired,” Chaturvedi added in the letter.
However, in 1945 Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose died in a plane crash in Taiwan.
