Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on Thursday described the advisory sought by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi from British Government in 1984 for attack on Golden Temple ‘very unfortunate’ and said British Government should not only tender an apology on the issue but too reveal all the details of communique between both the governments.
Expressing shock over the revelations of conversations between British and the then Indira Gandhi government, Badal said Congress Government in connivance with its foreign counterparts conducted attack on the highly sacred shrine of Sikhs in 1984, which exposed its intentions and deliberations towards Punjab. He said Congress at Center always stand by its attitude of animosity against Punjab, for which the people would not spare it at any cost.
Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal also sought high level probe in the entire issue of getting advisory from British Government by the then Indira Gandhi Government before launching attack on top Sikh shrine. She said that the revelations of communique bared the anti-Punjab and anti-Sikh face of Congress. She said SAD MPs would move ‘Adjournment Motion’ on February 7 in both houses of parliament, lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, against the attitude adopted by Congress against Punjab besides raking up the demand of high level probe into the entire issue.
