⬆️ UPDATE: Guilty pleas over killing of acquitted #Khalistan terrorist
On 23 June 1985, #AirIndia flight 182 from #Canada to #India blew up killing all 329 passengers, mostly #Canadian. About the same time, a 2nd bomb exploded prematurely in #Japan, killing two baggage handlers.
The bombings were carried out by Canada-based #Sikhs in retaliation for #OperationBlueStar and remain Canada's DEADLIEST terror attack.

While #Khalistan #separatists among #Sikh diaspora in #Canada try to export #secessionist ideology to #India, #Akali Sikhs are joining the party of #IndiraGandhi who launched #OperationBlueStar to flush Khalistani terrorists out of #GoldenTemple and was subsequently assassinated by her own Sikh bodyguards 40 years ago.
Rightful slap in the face of foreign #Khalistani elements

#BBC has an accurate and historically correct description of #Khalistan secessionist movement in #India and its recent revival in #US & #Canada.
It was a #terrorist movement that caused 1000s of deaths in 1980s
In #OperationBlueStar, Indian army stormed #GoldenTemple to flush out militants holed up inside
PM #IndiraGandhi was assassinated by her own #Sikh bodyguards for that
ALL mainstream political parties, incl in #Punjab, are united in opposition to separatism.

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
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
⬇️
Patently FALSE retelling of history by #AlJazeera.
>> separatist struggle turned particularly violent in the 1980s AFTER then-Indian PM #IndiraGandhi ordered a raid on a #Sikh temple to root out leaders of the Khalistan movement.
#Khalistan separatists, egged on by #Pakistan ran a decade-long campaign of #terror in #India where they brazenly gunned down civilians in broad daylight
Decade of #Secessionist violence BEFORE #OperationBlueStar
