Me and my father had visited Amritsar during those tumultuous times on a business trip. My father even met Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale at Akal Takht, who complained that Pakistan is not doing enough for their cause. It was surely a golden opportunity missed by our strategists.

Pakistan denied any involvement in the Khalistan Movement on India charges, the former (ISI) chief, the late General Hamid Gul, admitted in an interview with a local channel here that the Sikh separatists used to purchase arms from their contractors based in Pakistan. However, it was only with the help of Benazir Bhutto in the late 1980s that the Khalistan Movement took a back seat. She also turned down a plan of the intelligence agency to support the movement as a counter to India’s threats to Pakistan. Benazir Bhutto was very close with Rajiv Gandhi on the Khalistan issue, Benazir Bhutto is considered as a traitor in the establishment book.
