Most of our PUNJABI brothers/sisters don't even know about the lives
taken by the CENTRAL CONGRESS Government's army OPERATION BLUE STAR.
That was a most painfull wound on heart oe PUNJABI's. Official figures
put the casualties at 493 "civilians/ terrorists" killed and 86
wounded, and 83 troops killed and 249 wounded. Later in the year
official sources put the total number killed at about 1 ,000.
Unofficial sources estimated that the civilian casualties alone were
much higher. There were apparently more than 3 ,000 people in the
temple when Operation Blue Star began, among them 950 pilgrims, 380
priests and other temple employees and their families, 1 ,700 Akali
Dal supporters, 500 followers of SANT Bhindranwale and 150 members of
other armed groups. Even till yet they said them TERRORISTS!
