Netaji Foundation to spread the message of great revolutionary

SILCHAR, March 9: At a meeting attended by citizens of this town at Gandhi Bhavan, Netaji Subhash Foundation of Cachar District came into being on the basis of the decision of the central committee. Nihar Ranjan Paul, convenor of the district committee, presided over the meeting. Paritosh Paul Chowdhury, eminent journalist and a strong protagonist of Netaji, his philosophy and revolutionary grit and determination, said before independence conspiracy was hatched against Netaji for political reasons and leadership ego of the leaders whose sole attention was on grabbing power than to serve the nation with selfless devotion and sacrifice.

He was pained to see lack of awareness among the people about Netaji. He said the message of this great revolutionary has to be spread among sections of people and inspire them with the principles and ideals for which he fought for and stood. It is time to recollect his sacrifices and contributions that in fact hastened the struggle for the freedom of the country.

Young generations in particular who are becoming oblivious of his need to be awakened by his creative ideas, life and most important his revolutionary fight for the cause of the nation. The Foundation which was revealed, would work in that direction. Dr Subir Kar, teacher of Assam University, appreciated the initiative of Paritosh Paul Chowdhury and expressed the hope his dream nationalist project would become the reality of the day. Others who spoke on the occasion included Pabitra Bhusan Deb, Mridul Mazumdar and Biswatosh Chowdhury.

It is to be recalled that Paritosh Paul Chowdhury led Netaji Rath from Silchar to Moirang and all the way to Delhi to submit memorandum to the Prime Minister and Home Minister of India on January 23. The rath passed through different states. The objective was to arouse consciousness among people about Netaji and to build up public support, demanding publication of Mukherjee Commission Report in order to unravel the circumstances leading to his death in the reported aircraft crash.

He pointed out that the Centre would be under constant pressure to make the report public and to hold discussion on it in the Parliament. The district committee has all the present three ministers and MLAs in order to add strength and incentive to Netaji’s cause. Paul Chowdhury is the chief advisor of the committee. source: the sentinel
