After an assignation attempt on the Operation Bluestar’s major general Lt.Gen.Brar near Oxford Street in London, now raising more controversial row, the SGPC has honoured two assassins terrorist who had killed former Army chief Arun Shridhar Vaidya, the Tailor of Operation Bluestar 1984.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee backed by Shiromani Akali Dal has organized an event on the death anniversary of the two terrorists of the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF)-Harjinder Singh Jinda and Sukhdev Singh Sukha- in the Golden Temple, the committee honoured them with “martyrs” with religious prayers ‘bhog of Akhand Path’.

It has been also said that committee has marked its calendar “martyrs” anniversary of Jinda and Sukha along with the assassins of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

In the memory of Jinda and Sukha, the committee has honoured family members of “martyr” with ‘siropas’ to Jinda’s brother Bhupinder Singh and Sukha’s kin Surjit Kaur after the prayers.

Jinda and Sukha had shot dead AS Vaidya in Pune on August 10, 1986 after two year of Operation Bluestar marked from 3rd to 6th June 1984 in order of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to flush out heavily-armed Khalistanis terrorists led by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale holed up inside the Sikh shrine Golden Temple complex.

Later in 1992, Jinda and Sukha were arrested and sentenced to death. But Sikh’s supreme temporal seat Akal Takht had declared Jinda and Sukha as ‘national martyrs’ in 1999, and now 2012, SGPC declared them “martyrdom”.

“Sikhs sentiments are deeply hurt that none of the perpetrators of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots have been punished so far,” General Secretary, SGPC, Sukhdev Singh Bhaur said over SGPC’s move.
