EP-74| Unheard, detailed story of the Khalistan conspiracy as told by Former R&AW Official GBS Sidhu

GBS Sidhu is a former official of India’s external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing, and has authored two books, ’Sikkim Dawn of Democracy“ & ’The Khalistan Conspiracy’. Sidhu is an internal security expert and has worked closely on the merger of the Sikkim with India. Sidhu has also served at various stations of R&AW abroad and has tracked the Khalistan movement very closely, which he terms as a conspiracy by political masters which was meant for electoral gain. In an in-depth conversation with Smita Prakash, Sidhu talks about how people close to the political establishment sowed the seeds of Khalistan & recruited Bhindrawale for political gains. He also discusses how top politicians of the Congress party nurtured Khalistan, which resulted in Operation Blue Star in 1984, also resulting in the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. #ANIPodcastWithSmitaPrakash #GBSSidhu #Podcast Timestamps: 00:00- Introduction 04:14- Conspiracy behind Khalistan movement 09:08- Persons behind Conspiracy and Khalistan in Canada and US 29:43- Ganga Singh Dhillon & Demand of Khalistan 36:46- Hindu-Sikh divide in diaspora & Arrest of Bhindranwale 55:03- Bhindranwale’s Kill Squad 1:09:01 - Peaceful solutions and Operation Sundown 1:27:17 - Bhindranwale, SGPC & Fortification of Golden Temple 1:39:10 - White Paper & Truth commission 1:43:41 - Security failure & Indira Gandhi’s assassination 02:02:56 - Possible solutions to issues in Punjab Subscribe now and press the bell icon 🔔 to get new video updates: -------------------------------------- ANI is South Asia’s leading Multimedia News Agency providing content for every information platform, including TV, Internet, broadband, newspapers, and mobiles.
