He's been trying to establish Bose's death; and now Pranab Mukherjee is one of those who will seal the fate of Justice Mukherjee's heretical report.

It's a cruel irony of fate that the man who wanted to prove Netaji dead should now be sitting in judgment on the heretical report of the Justice MK Mukehrjee. As you read this, time is running out for the Government, legally bound to make public the findings of the Commission alongwith their Action Taken Report (ATR) on its directions. Given his antecedents, it is anybody's guess what view Mr Pranab Mukherjee would have taken on the Commission's report in the meetings of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA). Also, not much should be expected from a Cabinet that last year made a brazen attempt to sabotage the work of the Commission. It is charged that they actually succeeded subsequently when Justice Mukherjee, a former judge of the Supreme Court of India, returned empty-handed from Russia. His inquiry in that country was reduced to a mockery by the disinterest displayed by the Russian and Indian governments.
It will be naïve to assume that Pranab Mukherjee would be willing to give any ground to a report that has in all likelihood trashed the air crash version of Netaji's death. Because, if Mr Mukherjee concedes to the Commission's views, his past could return to trouble him. The charge of Netaji's close kin that he propagated "an untruth for reasons best known to him and the Government of India" is too serious to be overlooked. Subhas Chandra Bose is one of biggest icons of India and anyone, whoever he may be, found to be indulging in any inappropriate conduct over the matter of his death must be hauled up.
In the circumstances, the people of India must ask Mr Pranab Mukherjee to come out, without delay, with the reasons that made him dead sure of Netaji's death in 1945, when the evidence at any rate was sketchy. Was it the cherished party line; or was there something else that he would like to enlighten people about? When he appeared before Justice MK Mukherjee as a witness on October 15, 2001, Pranab Mukherjee looked jittery, but nevertheless made statements that fitted clearly in the Congress worldview where Netaji had ceased to exist after August 1945. Just as Former Home Secretary K Padmanabhaiah dished out selective bits when he made a misleading note (See When Home Ministry mislead Union Cabinet) for the Cabinet in 1995, Mukherjee too feigned ignorance about the Government's actual view on Netaji's death, as outlined by Prime Minister Morarji Desai in 1978 and repeated as late as 1999 by then Home Minister LK Advani. It was clear from Mr Mukherjee's deposition that he valued more the line taken by his party than the actual facts of the matter.
The current predicament for the people of India is that they would not be able to depose much faith in the Government's handling of the Mukherjee Commission's report. The audacious scarping of the Budget session of Parliament, which was to see the report come out and discussed by lawmakers, did not bide well for an issue the Government knew was "a definitive matter of national interest" "surcharged with emotion". People have already been pushed to the extreme end of the cynicism. Facts bear out that the Government of India, specially one led by the Congress, has had no genuine intention to ascertain the fate of the man but for whom India would not have become free in 1947. And with someone like Pranab Mukherjee calling shots in a Government clobbered together by Netaji's enemies, one can well foresee an unsympathetic disposal of Justice Mukherjee's historic report.
