That this House solemnly commemorates the 40th anniversary of Operation Blue Star, the military action that took place in June 1984 at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, resulting in significant loss of life and severe damage to the holiest site in Sikhism; expresses its deep regret over the devastating impact of this military action on the Sikh community; recognises the events that followed Operation Blue Star are viewed by the Sikh community worldwide as a period of intense persecution, described by many as a genocide; acknowledges the profound and lasting pain these events have caused to the Sikh community across the globe; calls for a moment of reflection on the serious consequences of the military action, including the loss of thousands of lives in the ensuing violence; and urges the Government to support international efforts aimed at reconciliation, peace, and justice for the Sikh community, ensuring such tragedies are never repeated.
