The supporters of Khalistan did not even expect it even far and wide that the Indian army and the Indian government, who were fed up with them and their misdeeds, have now come down to the battle of do and die. Even if it was the price that the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had to pay with her assassination.
On the 38th anniversary of “Operation Blue Star”, the untold story of Shantanu Sen, retired Joint Director of CBI, who was the Investigating Officer/Investigator of that lucrative case, “Operation Blue Star Insider” (Operation Blue StarIn this special series of NewsNCR presented under In this fourth installment of the special series, read further those shocking sensational facts of Operation Blue Star, which you have rarely heard before! Because Shantanu Sen, the former Joint Director of CBI, who was the Investigating Officer who investigated Operation Blue Star, has always kept himself away from talking on this ruckus subject.
Yes, Shantanu Sen has always firmly believed on this burning topic that, due to Operation Blue Star, the pro-Khalistan (Khalistan Supporter) did not bring alone. Some Indian politicians of that era had a direct or indirect hand behind this! Those politicians who had become blind in serving their political interests by giving covert ‘support’ to the supporters of Khalistan! According to Shantanu Sen, “Whatever the Indian Army had to prepare before carrying out Operation Blue Star in the Golden Temple. All those or more preparations or say arrangements, before starting the operation, the Indian Army came to know that the dreaded pro-Khalistan terrorists are sitting inside the temple hiding on top of a stockpile of bombs, ammunition, automatic weapons.
PM Indira wanted ‘immaculate’ blue star
Hindustani Army (Indian Army Golden TempleFor this news was worrying. Indian Army with its intelligence Golden Temple (Golden Temple Operation Blue StarAs soon as she became aware of the situation found inside, it would not be an easy task to take out the terrorists who were hiding inside the Golden Temple. Since the matter was directly implemented by the Prime Minister, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, that is, the order of the Hindustani Government. Therefore, the Indian army started beating on the do-and-die strategy. Without any question from me, Shantanu Sen, who had been an investigator of Operation Blue Star, continues his talk, “Actually during this brainstorming, there is only one in the mind of the officers of the Indian Army engaged in preparing the blueprint for carrying out Operation Blue Star. The question was flashing time and again that Prime Minister Indira Gandhi wants a bloodless operation, that is, a spotless Operation Blue Star.
The truth was contrary to Indira’s thinking
While inside the Golden Temple bent on bloodshed over heaps of bombs, gunpowder and deadly automatic weapons, the preparations of the pro-Khalistan Khadkus were in any case extremely dangerous. Still the army was the army. He had to make sincere efforts to train his prime minister and the government at any cost. Actually, Operation Blue Star was an operation in which the terrorists were led by a retired officer of Major General level (General Sahabeg Singh) from the Indian Army. Therefore, the strength of hundreds of terrorists present inside the Golden Temple had become like that of an army, due to the stamina and mind of one Sahabeg Singh. Meaning the Indian Army did not have to deal with terrorists only in Operation Blue Star. The Hindustani army was actually called the Lakshagriha prepared by a soldier for the defense of terrorists or it was to destroy the Chakravyuh.
‘Not a single bullet was fired’ was impossible
On top of all this, the ruling of the Indian government that, at any cost, not a single bullet should be fired towards Harimandir Sahib while destroying such Lakshagriha or Chakravyuh. Whereas the armed terrorists present inside are present inside the bunkers on every corner. If anyone dared to enter the Golden Temple armed, then pro-Khalistan weapons were stationed in nearby hotels and houses with the intention of killing him immediately. Do you mean to say that the promotion of the Hindustani army towards the Golden Temple was a straight-forward death? “Yes, that’s exactly what I am saying. The Indian Army, which was engaged on June 1, 2, in the preparations for the execution of Operation Blue Star, had clearly detected it. The army had understood that nothing was going to be achieved without bullets and bloodshed. The officers of the Indian Army were not very confident about whose blood would flow less and whose blood would flow more.
There were khadku in every corner of the Golden Temple
with impunity NewsNCR Shantanu Sen, retired Joint Director of CBI, who carried out the investigation of Operation Blue Star. That Shantanu Sen, who was actually the first and most convincing and trusted ‘insider’ of the then Indian government and CBI in that case after “Operation Blue Star”. The Khadkus had occupied every corner of the Golden Temple. Even bunkers were built on the roofs of the Golden Temple complex and they had stationed the Khadkus with bombs and ammunition on the front. Such a strong and strong barricade was a sample of the ‘mind’ of the retired Major General of the Indian Army, Sahbeg Singh. Which was given to the Indian army by the Hindustani government only to penetrate under any circumstances. According to Shantanu Sen, “Baba Atal Gurdwara located on the western side of the Golden Temple complex was also in the possession of terrorists.
Operation started after Bhagirath’s efforts
Terrorists also occupied Guru Nanak Niwas, Guru Ramdas Langar, SGP Office, Darbara Kharag Singh Building. Around June 1, 1984, when the Indian Army moved its intelligence inside the Golden Temple, it was learned that the construction of bunkers inside the Gurudwara to hide the terrorists was going on. In how many days did the Indian Army intend or plan to complete Operation Blue Star Fateh? When asked, the investigating officer of the incident says. “Actually, there has been a slight mistake here knowingly or unknowingly. Which is also possible in such a big and dangerous operation. You can’t blame anyone for this. In fact, regarding Operation Blue Star, the Indian Army expected that it would, first of all, cut off the power of the Golden Temple during the night. After that, the army will attack the Lav-Lashkar terrorists in a guerrilla style. In such a situation, Khalistan supporters will not get a chance to recover. However, during-e-Operation Blue Star that proved to be a huge misunderstanding of the Indian Army.
In ‘Blue Star’ our army’s ‘Ununderstood’!
According to the investigating officer of Operation Blue Star, “The army, which was preparing to carry out the operation, was thinking that the terrorists would not be able to last long in front of the army. This unknowingly proved to be the second major mistake of the Indian Army in Operation Blue Star. Till June 1, 2 and 3, 1984, the Indian Army kept on planning, conducting recce and warning the terrorists to surrender. The real physical operation Blue Star actually started on 5th June. When the Hindustani army failed in every attempt, it was considered appropriate to jump inside the Golden Temple. In fact, the terrorists did not believe even in their dreams that the Indian leaders whom their masters (Jathedar Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale etc..) are dancing on their fingers. Those same leaders (government) will also show the audacity to enter the Indian Army inside the Golden Temple. The same thing happened later. As soon as the Hindustani army entered the Golden Temple complex with Lav-Lashkar on 5th June, what happened inside? This truth is no longer hidden from anyone in the world.
It was decided to be a “Blue Star” at all costs
Explains eloquently right after Operation Blue Star, Shantanu Sen was sent by the Indian government as his ‘insider’ inside the Golden Temple and the CBI as the investigation officer of that case. Could this bloodshed not have been stopped? When asked, the former Joint Director of CBI, who was the investigating officer of Operation Blue Star, says, “Operation Blue Star could not stop. At the behest of the Indian government, the army was intent on getting the Golden Temple cleaned at any cost. Whereas the supporters of Khalistan, with nefarious intentions sitting inside with the intention of capturing the Golden Temple, did not even expect it far and wide that the Hindustani army and the Indian government, fed up with them and their misdeeds, now fight for do and die. But it has come down. Even if it was the price that the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had to pay with her assassination. Yes, it is necessary that the Indian army had fulfilled the oath of the Indian government, in which, at any cost, the Indian army had to clean the pro-Khalistan khadkus from the holy site from the Golden Temple at any cost.
