Bring Netaji's remains back to India, Chandra Bose appeals to Japanese PM
India Today
Chandra Bose, Netaji's grandson, has urged Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to allow DNA testing of ashes kept at Renkoji Temple.
Seven decades have passed since Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose went missing in 1945, with many historians suggesting that he might have died in a plane crash, but the recurring demand to bring back his purported remains from Renkoji temple in Japan for DNA examination has not been met thus far.
The freedom fighter's grandnephew, Chandra Bose, on Saturday urged Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to ensure DNA tests are done on the ashes kept at Renkoji temple in Japan.
"Please request Fumio Kishida to facilitate DNA test of Renkoji remains of the Hero of Asia and bring back the remains to India- the land he liberated from the clutches of British imperialism. Jai Hind!" wrote Chandra Bose, grand nephew of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
