PM Narendra Modi will unveil a hologram statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at the India Gate on Sunday, Netaji's 125th birth anniversary. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was born on January 23, 1897.
"Till the grand statue of Netaji Bose is completed, a hologram statue of his would be present at the same place. I will unveil the hologram statue on 23rd January, Netaji’s birth anniversary," he tweeted.
The canopy under which Netaji's granite statue will be installed earlier housed a statue of King George V, which was removed in 1968.
Earlier, Chandra Bose, who is also a BJP leader, wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Modi seeking the installation of Netaji's statue in front of India Gate in Delhi. He also asked the PM to print Netaji's image on currency notes and declare January 23 as a national holiday.
