Sangat Ji I hope you are all well. Today I would like to bring operation blackthunder to your attention as this is very rarely spoken about.
Operation Blackthunder was the second time the Indian government had orders to storm the Sri Harimandir Sahib (Golden Temple) complex in order to flush out what they called 'militants'. On the 12th May 1988 they stormed the complex killing innocents once again, although the casualties were not of the same scale, the fact that they stormed our sacred shrine for a second time is despicable. The Indian government were so distraught at the fact that Sikhs had rebuilt the Akhal Takht and gained control of Amritsar once again that they thought it was their duty to flush us out, again just like in 84, for no apparent reason. The government feared us!
The corrupt Indian government even went to the lengths of building a replica model of the Sri Harimandir Sahib complex in Haryana for the training of the special action group from the National Security Guards (NSG) which would be used on a weekly basis in preparation for the attack.
Rajiv Gandhi tabled eight of eleven meetings regarding Operation Black Thunder. Home Minister Buta Singh and Minister of State for Home P. Chidambaram were in support. After the green light was given Air Force airlifted Special Action Group (SAG) of 1000 commandos of National Security Guards (NSG) and their equipment to Amritsar on May 11 and 12.
The killing of militants by security forces outside the temple was supplemented with selective killing inside by the infiltrators. For example when of all the people were inside, Jagir Singh - a senior person who was the spokesman of the Panthic Committee came out of room 14 to fetch a pail of water from the holy tank he was shot in the back of the head, obviously from inside the building. Mortally wounded his body fell to the pavement near the sarovar.
On May 15 in response to an appeal by Inspector General (Border) Chaman Lal and Deputy Commissioner Sarabjit Singh to surrender, 151 persons including 17 women and children came out with their hands and weapons in the air.
KPS Gill was also involved in Operation Blackthunder a fellow Sikh, betraying his own people to follow a fascist government who's idealogies included an all Hindu country regarding minorities as Hindus too.
Sangat Ji, the reason I have brought up these operations that were carried out by the Indian government were because we need to understand that we should never forget what happened in our past! We need to educate the youth so they know what kind of injustice has gone on to us as a nation. We as Sikhs shall never give in to the Indian government, we only bow down to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaaj. United We Stand! Never Forgive, Never Forget!
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
