Netaji's Daughter Seeks PM Modi's Help
Anita Bose Pfaff, the daughter of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi multiple times asking for help to bring her father's ashes back to India.
She says she never got a reply.
She also tried to meet the President but was turned down.
On her father's 129th birthday, she asked the people of India to support her.
Some people think the government might not want to do this because it could be controversial.
A historian who is Netaji's grand-nephew says this is a big national issue and should be handled with respect by the government.
Anita Bose Pfaff, daughter of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, wrote to PM Modi multiple times seeking support to bring her father's ashes to India but received no reply.
She was invited to the unveiling of her father's statue in Delhi in 2022 but did not get an appointment with the Prime Minister to discuss the return of the remains.
Pfaff also sought an appointment with the current President of India, but it was declined.
On Netaji's 129th birth anniversary, Pfaff released a video message seeking the support of the people of India to bring back her father's remains from Japan.
Historian Sugata Bose, Netaji's grand-nephew, stated that this matter is a national issue and should be handled with the highest dignity at the highest levels of government.
