ministerNew Delhi : Two specific files, including one from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), related to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose are missing, Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.

He also informed the house that Japan has agreed to declassify two files related to Netaji by end of the year.

“Despite attempts being made, one file is missing from the ministry of home affairs also,” Rijiju said during question hour.

The file that’s missing from the PMO relates to the “proposal” to bring back the ashes of Netaji from Tokyo and on building a national memorial in his honour at the Red Fort, he said.

Replying to supplementary questions from members, including Bhrutihari Mahtab of Biju Janata Dal, the minister said efforts have been made by the Narendra Modi government to procure records, files and documents from various countries, including Russia and Japan.

“Japan has agreed to declassify two files out of five by the end of this year,” he said.

Rijiju said that Japan has not given any assurance about the other three files.

He said the government has decided to declassify 25 files every month.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
