NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday led the nation in paying tributes to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his 120th birth anniversary and saluted his valour during the freedom struggle.
"I salute Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his birth anniversary. His valour played a major role in freeing India from colonialism," Modi said after paying homage to India's iconic leader in parliament.
"Bose was a great intellectual who always thought about the interests and well-being of the marginalised sections of society," said the Prime Minister.
He also expressed his gratitude for getting the opportunity to fulfil people's decades long demand of declassifying files related to Bose's life.
Beginning January 23 last year, the Modi government has so far released over 303 classified files on Netaji.
The declassified files are available on http://www.netajipapers.gov.in.
