According to Dubey, the letter confirms the presence of British military officers in Amritsar during the 1984 operation. “In 1984, Indira Gandhi launched an attack on the Golden Temple in collaboration with Britain, with British army officers present in Amritsar at that time. For Congress, the Sikh community is merely a toy,” he wrote.

The BJP MP further criticized a past decision regarding Kartarpur Sahib, stating, “1. Pakistan was finally given Kartarpur Sahib in 1960 through an agreement made by Sardar Swaran Singh.”

Dubey also accused the Congress of making symbolic appointments of Sikh leaders to deflect attention from the violence of 1984 and shield party members implicated in the anti-Sikh riots.

“2. During the 1984 attack on the Golden Temple and the killing of innocent devotees, Giani Zail Singh was made President. 3. To cover up the 1984 massacre of Sikhs and to protect senior leaders H.K.L. Bhagat, Jagdish Tytler, and Sajjan Kumar, Manmohan Singh was made a puppet Prime Minister in 2004,” he posted.

He concluded his post with the charge that the Congress’s legacy of “selling out the country and surrendering before foreigners continues.”
