Former Human Resource Development Minister and veteran BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi today demanded a fresh probe into Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's mysterious disappearance and asked the centre to explain why it rejected the findings of the Mukherjee Commission of inquiry. He also asked the government to answer questions including the purported receipt of ''ashes and other remains'' of Netaji by the then External Affairs Minister in 1954. Speaking at a seminar on Mukherjee Commission Report organsied by Resurgent India, an NGO, Mr Joshi said, '' The country should refuse the theory that the ashes at Renkhoje temple, were of Netaji until a thorough investigation of the matter is undertaken.'' Describing Netaji as the only leader, who set up the first independent Indian government outside the country, Mr Joshi said, ''The country has the right to know mystery shrouding the disappearance of the great leader.'' The former HRD minister asked the government to come out with reasons for rejecting the Mukherjee Commission report and said ''the facts and circumstances as narrated in this report require a further rigorous probe in the matter''. ''The nation wants to know why the truth about Netaji is not being allowed to be brought before the people,' he asked. UNI TJP PC PA DB1952
