Secret files on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose not to be published

 The Central Information Commission has upheld the Prime Minister's Office contention that releasing secret files about Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's wife and daughter may upset foreign countries. Chief Information Commissioner Rajiv Mathur has disposed the appeal by researcher Chandrachur Ghose which challenged the PMO's decision of not giving access to the letters written by Netaji's wife and daughter to the government. "In view of the above, and CPIO's submission that due diligence has been exercised, we uphold the decision of the CPIO/AA in denying the information," the CIC said in its decision. In 2013, the PMO had said that these files are exempt from disclosure under Section 8(1)(a) read with section 8(2) of the Right to Information Act, 2005. "The three files in question are classified and disclosure of the documents contained in them would prejudicially affect relations with foreign countries," the PMO said in its reply.

Responding to China's criticism of India granting asylum to the Dalai Lama, Finance Minister Morarji Desai told Chou: "You should be the last person to object to political asylum. Where would you be today if political asylum had not been given to Lenin?" And when Chou told Vice President Radhakrishnan that he could not convince "the Chinese people that Ladakh and the Aksai Plain in particular did not belong to them because of the legends going back to the 12th century which supported Chinese claims," Radhakrishnan retorted that "on such a basis India could claim Kandahar, Kabul, and many other areas including parts of Ch...

10 Churchill and Hitler’s Execution Sir Winston Churchill, Britain’s wartime Prime Minister, planned to execute Adolf Hitler in the electric chair if the Nazi leader fell into Allied hands. Declassified documents reveal that Churchill was opposed to Allied plans for war crimes trials and wanted summarily to execute leading Nazi figures including Hitler who he regarded as “the mainspring of evil” and a “gangster”, and was also content to see Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi starve to death during a hunger strike in 1943. They also show that he was willing, against the advice of his Cabinet colleagues, to “wipe out” defenceless German villages in retaliation for Nazi atrocities in Czechoslovakia. Churchill’s choice of the electric chair was despite the fact that it was never used in Britain before the final abolition of the death penalty in 1965.  source .  9  Operation Northwoods According to secret and long-hidden documents, the Join...
