Remembering the DAY
this Thread is to pay Homage for what all Happened at Golden Temple 24 years back plz post ur grace and homage below
Operation Blue Star ( ਬਿਲਯੂ ਸਟਾਰ ) (June 3 to June 6, 1984) was an Indian military operation ordered by Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, to remove Sikh militants from Golden Temple in Amritsar . The operation was launched in response to a deteriorating law and order problem in the Punjab. The reasons for both late action and heavy army assault is highly debated among historians and intellectuals. The operation was carried out by Indian army troops with tanks and armoured vehicles. Militarily successful, it is considered to be a political disaster and an un-precedented act in modern Indian history.
The military assault on the Golden Temple caused an uproar among Sikhs all over the world. In India, many Sikhs resigned from armed and civil administrative offices and returned their government awards. Revenge for the desecration of the Sikh shrine was pledged by many of the community, resulting in the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.
The operation
The Indian Army used seven Vijayanta Tanks during the operation
Indira Gandhi first asked Lt. Gen. S.K Sinha, then Vice-Chief of Indian Army and who was to succeed as the Army chief, to prepare a position paper for assault on the Golden Temple. Lt. Gen. Sinha advised against any such move and suggested the government to adopt some other method to achieve its objective. A decision was made to supersede him and Gen. Arun Vaidya was appointed, in his place, as the Chief of Indian army. He was assisted by Lt. Gen. K. Sunderjee as Vice- Chief. The Operation Blue Star was eventually planned and executed by the duo.
On June 3, a 36 hour blanket curfew was imposed in the state of Punjab and all sorts of communications, Railways, Bus and Air services, were suspended. All lines of communications and supply of electricity were suspended. There was a total blackout and the state was cut-off from the rest of India and outside world. Complete censorship was placed on all types of Media.
The Indian Army stormed the Golden Temple on the night of June 5 under the command of Major General Kuldip Singh Brar. The army successfully took control of the Golden Temple on the morning of June 7. Bhindranwale, Shahbeg Singh and several other militants were killed in the operation. The casualties of the Army also ran into hundreds.
The Army action coincided with a Sikh annual festival. Many pilgrimages, old people, women and children were inside the temple when the Army action began. Many of them were killed or injured in the conflict.
