Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose would have been proud of the way India is helping other countries during the coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday in Kolkata as he raced West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to honour the Independence movement icon on his 124th birth anniversary. The PM and the Chief Minister made a rare joint appearance at the city's Victoria Memorial to launch an exhibition to honour Netaji but Ms Banerjee cancelled her speech after being heckled by supporters of the BJP with chants of "Jai Shri Ram". With West Bengal elections just a few months away, honouring the Netaji this year has become vital for political points.
