After 3 decades of quiet, somebody is stirring up the #Khalistan #secessionist movement to destabilize #India AGAIN.

This is an international story, NOT just a story about #India.

In 1970-80’s, they used holy #Sikh #GoldenTemple as local command & control center while unleashing a decade-long #terror campaign in India

They also had masterminds in #Canada who blew up 2 jumbo jets, one at #Tokyo #Narita and another mid-air over #Scotland killing all passengers ➡️ bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-

Although #AP describes #Khalistan as a bloody armed #insurgency that shook #India in the 1970s and 1980s, it distorts it as #independence movement

AP acknowledges: “In 1984, Indian forces stormed the #GoldenTemple to flush out #separatists who had taken refuge there”

“The dead included #Sikh militant leader Jarnail Singh #Bhindranwale… leading the armed insurgency”

PM #IndiraGandhi, who ordered #OperationBlueStar was later assassinated by her own Sikh bodyguards

#Khalistan is #secessionist

When #BritishIndia was partitioned in 1947 on #Hindu-#Muslim lines, #Punjab was part of #independent #India & remains its integral part

India is NOT “occupying” it. #Sikhs don’t identify with Muslims

Egged on by #Pakistan, the #separatist movement ran a decade-long #terror campaign in India under Sikh militant leader #Bhindranwale, who was killed in #OperationBlueStar when India flushed terrorists hiding in & using #GoldenTemple as their command & control center
