write the detail of Blue Star operation in Amritsar
Answers
Answer:
Operation Blue Star was a codename of an Indian military action carried out between 1 and 8 June 1984 to remove militant religious leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his followers from the buildings of Harmandir Sahib complex in Amritsar, Punjab. The decision to launch the attack rested with Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. In July 1982, Harchand Singh Longowal, the President of the Sikh political part Akali Dal, had invited Bhindranwale to take up residence in the Golden Temple complex to evade arrest. Bhindranwale later made the sacred temple complex an armoury and headquarters. In the violent events leading up to Operation Blue Star since the inception of Akali Dharam Yudh Morcha, the militants had killed 165 Hindus and Nirankaris, and 39 Sikhs opposed to Bhindranwale. The total number of deaths was 410 in violent incidents and riots while 1, 180 people were injured.
