In this golden temple, he organized his armed forces and challenged the sovereignty of the Indian government . Our Prime minister Indira Gandhi successfully tackled this situation and through the operation blue star the Golden temple was besieged and freed . Therefore , in the process of the protection of the integrity and the sovereignty of India , we have to sacrifice our beloved prime minister Indira Gandhi and she was assassinated by her own Sikh bodyguards.

What measures should be adopted to eliminate this separatist movement
Since this movement has been almost ended from the land of India but it is still alive on the foreign land , these separatist are working abroad and they are planning to conduct referendum in India regarding separatism . But it is almost impossible because the Indian Sikh community is too loyal to the country and they believe in national integration . Many people from the Punjab had participated in the national movement and fought for the integrity of India . There are some people funded by Pakistan abroad who are creating the problem. The following measures should be adopted to eliminate them completely
- Government should pressurize those countries not to encourage such separatist movement on their land. The Hindu Analysis
- Government should not tolerate any type of this incidents and the culprit of the separatism must be immediately strictly punished
- Government should ensure not to free and illegal flow of the foreign currencies to Punjab for such illegal activities. The Hindu Analysis
- Government of India and the Punjab should work together in this regard
- Government should eliminate the illegal trade of the Drugs in Punjab , because this trade of the drugs is also involved such type of separatist movement
