Even after 75 years of the disappearance of Netaji Subhash Bose whose ‘death’ remains shrouded in controversy, tributes continued pouring on social media on August 18 as it was this day in 1945 when the plane he was travelling in crashed. However, the BJP government maintained silence on the issue which clearly reflected that they have doubts on his reported death in plane crash. A few tweets posted on twitter include:
However, no posts were seen on August 18 from any official twitter handle of BJP-ruled Government. Neither PMO or HMO, Ministry of Finance or Ministry of Defense shared their views on his assumed death anniversary.
The BJP leaders never believed that Bose died on August 18.
During the visit of former PM Atal Behari Vajpayee to Renkoji temple in Japan in 2011, he was happy to visit Renkoji temple where the ‘smritiyan’ of Netaji lies safe. Atal ji refrained to say ‘astiyan’, which clearly means he did not accept the fact that Netaji died in the plane crash.
