US EditionBritish MPs Renew Call for Inquiry Into UK's Role in Operation Blue Star
- British MPs renewed calls in 2025 for an independent public inquiry into the UK role in India’s June 1984 Operation Bluestar at the Golden Temple.
- This followed the 2014 release of government documents revealing that Margaret Thatcher’s administration gave military advice to India before the temple storming.
- Labour MPs Warinder Juss and Jas Athwal raised the inquiry demand during a Commons session led by Lucy Powell to mark the 41st anniversary of the operation.
- Powell acknowledged community concerns and said she was “still waiting” for an update, while Indian sources estimate the death toll at about 575 during the operation.
- The inquiry aims to clarify Britain’s extent of involvement amid continued calls to fulfill earlier manifesto and government pledges to investigate the 1984 event.
