A pro-Khalistani event was organised outside the Indian consulate in Vancouver on the 40th anniversary of Operation Bluestar.

The Operation Bluestar anniversary at Amritsar's Golden Temple, an otherwise big-ticket event in Punjab's annual calendar, was a subdued affair this year.

Pro-Khalistani elements featured a tableau glorifying the assassination of Indira Gandhi in Sikh Martyrdom Parade in Canada's Brampton

On the 39th anniversary of Operation Blue Star, Bhindranwale posters and pro-Khalistan slogans were raised at the Golden Temple in Punjab's Amritsar

"It is our diaspora who have gone abroad who are more pro-Khalistan and all that than those who are in India,” Lt General Brar emphasised.

Taking to Twitter, Harbhajan Singh said, that the image he shared was a WhatsApp forward message and he shared it without realising the content in it or the significance of the same.

To mark the 37th anniversary of Operation Blue Star, the Indian military action to eliminate separatist leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale who had taken refuge in The Golden Temple, pro-Khalistan slogans were raised in the temple complex

Between the 1st and 10th of June 1986, PM Indira Gandhi had launched operation Blue Star to flush out terrorists from the Golden Temple

The decision of putting the Granth Sahib on display was taken in a special meeting of the SGPC executive committee on Wednesday

The controversial remarks came from the Akal Takht chief on the occasion of 36th anniversary of the Operation Blue Star
