The Uttar Pradesh government has downgraded the security cover of a retired Brigadier who led Operation Blue Star at Amritsar’s Golden Temple in 1984.
Brigadier (retd) Israr Rahim Khan told The Hindu that a lone policeman accompanies him now, that too when he steps outdoor, against round-the-clock security provided to him all these years.
Recently, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a group advocating secessionist and pro-Khalistani activities in India, had offered $2,50,000 to anyone who could harm the team that led the Operation, which includes Mr. Khan.
