The Damdami Taksal, a Sikh seminary, announced that the Operation Bluestar memorial –- built in memory of Sikh militants killed in the 1984 army operation inside the Golden Temple –- was ready and would be opened for public on April 27.
Chief of Damdami Taksal Harnam Singh Khalsa said that the Taksal would hand over the memorial to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee on Saturday. The memorial has been built by the Taksal.
On Thursday, the SGPC began the Akhand Path (continuous recitation of Guru Granth Sahib), which would conclude with a bhog on Saturday when the memorial will be inaugurated. The memorial is inside the Golden Temple complex and looks like a gurdwara with round-the-clock ‘Parkash’ (installation) of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Golden Temple head Granthi said, “The memorial has been built in memory of martyrs like Jarnail Singh Bhinderanwala, Amrik Singh and all those who had died while fighting the army during Operation Bluestar in 1984.”
