But it resulted in deep and permanent scars in the hearts of an entire community. Sending army in a place of worship was needless one. I am not saying that an operation was not required ... but it could have done anywhere else other than a place of worship. Or there could have been many smarter ways to handle that. We were not fighting foreigners but people of our country ... which went against us JUST and i repeat JUST because of silly politics.
I don't know how the army could have handled it any differently. Not their fault that Bhindranwale and Co decided to dig in, fortify and run ops from the Akal Takht. There was a significant risk of the army getting into an urban war, causing many more casualties, in case they decided to lay siege and wait for the militants to come out voluntarily.
