Slamming the Indian government for taking help from British government in attacking its own people, the president of leading Sikh religious organisation — Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) — Avtar Singh Makkar said: “Their governments also run by taking religion as a base and if they have done so, if they have helped our government in attacking our people, then they have committed the biggest crime.
” Expressing his deep anguish, Makkar said that Operation Bluestar had badly hurt the sentiments of Sikh community world over and wounds are still unhealed. “The Sikh community is deeply hurt and the news has left them numb,” he said. Makkar added that the Sikhs have felt cheated as they trusted the United Kingdom in their pursuit for justice and freedom. “Thousands of Sikhs have made UK their home and contributed a lot in the overall development of UK in all spheres. Bad name of UK will be scripted in history for this bad act,” he added. PNS n Amritsar
