BJP govt more than welcome to declassify Netaji files: Mani Shankar Aiyar

Kolkata, Sep 18: Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar today said the Centre is "more than welcome" to declassify files it has on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

Asked to comment on recent revelations that Netaji's family members were snooped upon till the mid 1960s by successive Congress governments, he said, "I have not seen those files... I don't know what is there in them. So I can't comment on it."
