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.

“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.”
