Kolkata Leaders of four Left parties CPM, CPI, All India Forward Bloc and RSP have urged the central government to declare January 23, the birthday of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, as “Desh Prem Diwas”.

In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh yesterday, they said that in 1996 a similar proposal had been put before the Netaji Centenary Celebration Committee headed by the then Prime Minister but no action was taken.

They hoped the Centre would this time accept their demand.

The letter was signed by CPM general secretary Prakash Karat, CPI general secretary A B Bardhan and their counterparts in Forward Bloc and RSP Debabrata Biswas and T J Chandrachoodan respectively.
