HS Phoolka voices his concerns over Sonia Gandhi’s memoir addressing the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Operation Blue Star. He contests her claims about the Army’s intervention timing post-Indira Gandhi’s assassination, citing historical documentation. Furthermore, he questions her emotional depiction of Indira Gandhi after the operation, supported by Justice VM Tarkunde’s report.
