12 injured in clashes inside Golden Temple complex
AMRITSAR: At least 12 people were injured in a clash between task force volunteers of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and radical Sikh activists on Friday on the 30th anniversary of the Army's Operation Blue Star at the Golden Temple complex here.
Swords and sticks were openly used as scores of men from both sides chased each other outside the Akal Takht building inside the complex, which is home to the holiest of Sikh shrines — 'Harmandar Sahib'. Many people could be seen running for cover to save themselves.
Eyewitnesses said the clash occurred when activists of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) were stopped by the SGPC task force volunteers from brandishing swords and other traditional weapons and raising pro-Khalistan slogans inside the complex.
This led to a clash between both sides just after the religious ceremony to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Operation Blue Star had ended Friday morning. Tension continued to prevail inside the shrine complex. Even media personnel were manhandled during the incident.........
