The Indian Army began it’s early morning assault on the Sri Harmandir Sahib complex. Soldiers were instructed to being firing rounds towards, Baba Atal Rai Sahib Gurudwara, Sri Darbar Sahib and Akal Takht Sahib.
Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale and General Subeg Singh remind the Singhs to hold their resolve and not fire back, as this would give away their bunker positions, which needed to remain undiscovered until the Army encroaches further within range.
Sikh women and children also await the attackers, ready to defend the complex until their last breath.
Jaikareh below from the top of Baba Atal Rai Gurudwara, the Sikhs roar as their first soldier is martyred; Bhai Menga Singh Babbar.
