Abstract

The article discusses BJP Lok Sabha member Nishikant Dubey's criticism of the Congress party regarding the 1984 Operation Blue Star, which targeted militants in the Golden Temple. Dubey alleges that then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi collaborated with British soldiers during the operation and shared sensitive information with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. He questions the appropriateness of discussing internal issues with a foreign government and claims that the Congress party has historically treated the Sikh community as a political pawn. Additionally, Dubey references a letter indicating British involvement in planning the operation and suggests that the Congress government used political appointments to mitigate public backlash following the event.
