The British Sikh Opposition Labour Party MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi on June 4, called for an independent inquiry into the extent of the involvement of the then Margaret Thatcher-led British government in Operation Bluestar in June 1984, reports The Tribune. As per the report, the MP raised the issue in the House of Commons to mark 36 years since the Indian Army’s operation at the Golden Temple in Amritsar District of Punjab, also called for a debate on the issue. The MP said, “This week marks 36 years since the then Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, ordered her abhorrent attack on the most revered Sikh shrine, the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar. Despite recent revelations and given the huge demand from within the British Sikh community and the support of the Labour party and other Opposition parties, an independent inquiry to establish the extent of the Thatcher government's involvement in the attack has still not been held.”
