As reported by MEM, Prabhash K Dutta from India Today wrote that the commandos who raided the Golden Temple on June 6, 2018, were trained by Israeli Mossad agents.

This is a major disclosure about the controversial military raid at the behest of Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India.

The Golden Temple is one of the most sacred sites in Sikh culture. The commandos who were a part of this controversial raid were part of a special group of the Indian Army.

They were part of the 56th Commando Company of the Indian Army and were trained by the Mossad, according to the report. Mossad is Israel’s intelligence agency.

Operation Blue Star: Open Wounds

It has been more than three decades since Operation Blue Star stormed the Golden Temple complex. Still, the opinions on the legitimacy and need for it are divided. Sikhs still count it as a dark day in their history. Operation Blue Star and the anti-Sikh riots post-Indira Gandhi’s assassination still hurt Sikh sentiments.

‘Harmandar Sahib’ is the sanctum sanctorum in the Golden Temple’s complex. The action took place just 100 feet away from the sanctum. ‘Harmandar Sahib’ is the holiest shrine in the complex, and even though it was not indulged by bullets, Sikhs still feel that their sentiments were demeaned and their rich heritage was assaulted. They have still not forgiven the political establishment, which planned the cleansing operation.

Operation Blue Star ended with a sea of dead bodies circling around the sanctum. Heavy casualties were inflicted on both sides. If official figures are anything to go by, then the Indian army lost 83 men, while 492 is the toll of civilian deaths.

Estimates from non-governmental agencies run even higher than the official figures. The very fact that the Indira Gandhi government barred media coverage raises more speculations about the credibility of official figures.

Operation Blue Star Revenge: Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, was seen as a villain by Sikhs post the Operation Blue Star.

In what can be called a revenge, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards on 31st October 1984. Her assassination brought the nation to a standstill and left the world shocked.

This was followed by the infamous anti-Sikh riots of 1984.
