On Saturday, Narendra Modi led Central government declassified files related to Neta Ji Subhash Chandra Bose; however, nothing has been found in these files which may clear the controversy over Neta Ji’s disappearance and his death.
Good to see Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Papers https://t.co/k62ZOncx5D released in accessible, PDF form. But no major historical revelations.

Nevertheless, a letter circulated on the social media networks stating that it was written by Jawahar Lal Nehru in which he is calling Neta Ji a “war criminal.” The letter was first posted by a journalist Aditya Raj Kaul on Twitter asking Congressmen why would papers lie.
This is the facebook post @rahulkanwal just deleted. The lies against Nehru from 'Modi Govt sources' no less… pic.twitter.com/Z5jNii30nS

There is absolutely no doubt that the letter is fake as the historian Ramachandra Guha says that it definitely doesn’t come from Nehru and most probably it’s from an unknown witness “seeking publicity before the Khosla Commission in 1970”. The “war criminal” claim was even rejected by the historian Patrick French, on Twitter.
Later on, there was an apology from journalist Aditya Raj Kaul; original tweet of India Today was deleted while Rahul Kanwal also deleted his Facebook post.
To those who are hurt by some of my tweets I apologise. I already admitted by mistake. This is not for shameless trolls like @mihirssharma.

However, social media got its topic to create humor, enjoy it and have a good time!

Amazing that @rahulkanwal and @AdityaRajKaul thought that Nehru became PM in 1945! And he spelt Attlee as "Atlee"! #BhaktsFakeLetter
