Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Operation Blue Star was an Indian military operation carried out in 1984 in Punjab to remove armed Sikh militants who were holed up in the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar. The operation, which aimed to apprehend militants and remove weapons stored in the holiest shrine of Sikhism, resulted in significant casualties and damage to the temple. The operation led to widespread unrest and contributed to the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi later that year.
