Operation Woodrose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Operation Bluestar was followed by the expansion of the ambit of the Indian Army's operation in Punjab (India). In order to clear the countryside of "militants", the army was awarded powers equivalent to martial law for the duration of the operation, codenamed Woodrose. Independent critics claim that many civilians were killed, along with the militants arrested, tried, or killed or executed in fake encounters.
