Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former home secretary RK Singh on Thursday said that it would have been better if West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee would have consulted the Centre or Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) before taking decision to declassify freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose's files.
'It would have been better if Mamata Banerjee would have consulted with the Central Government and Ministry of External Affairs,' RK Singh told ANI. Another BJP leader Siddharth Nath Singh, however, welcomed the decision and said that Netaji's life must be demystified.
