BJP MP Nishikant Dubey criticized the Congress party for the alleged illegal detention of Dr. Colonel B. Ramchandra Rao, a member of the Azad Hind Fauj, calling it a troubling incident. Rao, a witness before the G.D. Khosla Commission, claimed that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose survived a plane crash and tried to reach Russia. Dubey highlighted that Rao, a freedom fighter and doctor, was unlawfully held in custody for five years, terming it a dark period for the Congress.
Dubey, speaking outside Parliament, revealed that Dr. Colonel B. Ramchandra Rao, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s personal doctor, intended to hold a press conference in 1965-66 to assert that there was no plane crash involving Netaji. Allegedly, Rao bid farewell to Netaji as he departed for Russia, and upon Indira Gandhi learning of this, a case was filed against him in 1965, leading to his arrest in Andhra Pradesh in 1966.
The BJP MP claimed that Ramchandra Rao’s statements before the Khosla committee were dismissed as he was labeled mentally unfit. He further pointed out that declassified files indicated Netaji’s visit to Russia, questioning the surveillance on Netaji’s family members from 1947 to 1956 if he had died in a plane crash. Dubey also hinted at Rao intending to disclose information about Jawaharlal Nehru’s involvement and the bombing on the Azad Hind Fauj in 1945.
Nishikant Dubey urged the youth to independently verify the facts he presented, emphasizing the importance of research in today’s technologically advanced era. He underscored the need for young individuals to delve into the details themselves to ascertain the accuracy of the information provided.
