Violent clashes between Sikh radicals and members of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee Task Force (SGPC) at the highest temporal seat of Sikhs, inside the Golden Temple complex, marred the 30th anniversary of army operation Blue Star, which was carried out to flush out the Sikh militants from the shrine.
At least six persons including a police head constable were injured in the clashes, said Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special) Harjit Singh Brar. As many as 21 persons were rounded up by the police, said Brar at the time of filing this report.
Unconfirmed reports said few more, including a minor and a woman, were also injured in the bloody clash following which tension continued to prevail inside Golden Temple for about two hours.
