Explanation

On November 20, 2012, the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, released a commemorative postage stamp to mark the birth centenary of Ramgopal Maheswari [1]. Ramgopal Maheswari (1911–1999), popularly known as 'Babuji', was a distinguished Hindi journalist and social reformer. He is widely regarded as a doyen of journalism in India, particularly for his role as the founder-editor of the Hindi daily 'Nava Bharat', which played a significant role in the socio-political landscape of Central India. While he was a freedom fighter and participated in the Quit India Movement, there is no historical evidence to support the claim that he was a trusted aide of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose specifically involved in mobilizing Indian National Army forces in Kohima. Therefore, only the first statement is correct.
