A Trailer of a Documentary by Day and Night Channel released says, from eyewitness accounts that the an Indian Army Major shot about Thirty people in the Golden Temple Complex, during Operation Blue Star in 1984, to flush out Sikh Extremists led by Bhindrawale.
The documentary , according to is producer, Mr.Sandhu, is in nine parts.
He states that he is trying to piece together as to what exactly happened during operation Blue Star, including the atrocities perpetrated by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his band of followers.
There have been allegations that excessive force was used during Operation Blue star and civilians were killed pointblank by the Indian Army.
This controversy never really died down and it surfaces during the death Anniversary of Bhindranwale.
Indira Gandhi, in her last effort to wrest power from the Akali Dal, to which the Congress had lost power for many years, since Pratap Singh Kairon, groomed Bhindranwale,a n intemperate and extremist preacher, by projecting the plight of Punjab at the hands of the Punjab Government at the and later by India itself.
Bhindranwale became a Frankenstein Monster and the fight for secession from India by Punjab got out of control
Bhindranwale and his followers holed up in the Sikh's Holy Temple, The Golden Temple in Amritsar and started attacking People and Indian Forces.
By an Operation named Operation Blue Star, Bhindrenwale was killed, militants flushed out.
Now to the current Documentary.
One of the key accusers is Ramuwalia, till sometime back in Congress , now in Akali dal, who says that 30 people were killed in Nazi Style execution.
It is interesting to note that Ramuwalia was a Central Minister under the NDA.
He kept quiet for 29 years!.
