Sikhs will never forgive Britain: Badal
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal
On Wednesday Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal demanded an unconditional apology from the British government for secretly assisting the Indian government plan the army attack, code named “Operation Bluestar,” on the Golden Temple in June 1984, in which many innocent pilgrims were also killed.
“The Sikhs will never forgive them for this sin against humanity,” Badal said on the sidelines of his Sangat Darshan programme in Maur assembly segment in Bathinda district.
“The British government must tender an unconditional apology for supporting the then (Congress) regime in the crime in which many innocent people were killed,” he said.
Mr. Badal was reacting to the inquiry report tabled in the British House of Commons on Tuesday, in which the British government admitted that the United Kingdom’s role in Operation Bluestar was limited to military advice.
