Sikh Council UK is providing links to the documents which have raised mass concerns within the Sikh community that the British government may have colluded in the “plan” leading to June 1984 massacre at the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, India. This resulted in a horrific and brutal attack by the Indian military on the Sri Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple) complex in which thousands of Sikh pilgrims were killed.
These documents have been released as part of the 30 year rule when certain cabinet records are transferred to The National Archives.
