Politics (Q&A)

Answer:

Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her own sikh bodyguards because she had ordered 'Operation Bluestar' on Golden Temple, to capture 'Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale' who was a leader of the Damdami Taksal, a sikh religious group. 'Operation Bluestar' resulted in casualties which included soldiers, men, women and children, most of which were sikhs. The operation also caused damage to the structure of the sikh temple. It is considered that she became the target of sikh anger owing to 'Operation Bluestar' and was murdered by her own sikh bodyguards.
