Slamming the Congress over disclosures from Britain on Operation Bluestar, opposition parties Wednesday accused the then Indira Gandhi government of mishandling the situation in 1984 while Akali Dal patron Parkash Singh Badal sought an apology from Britain for secretly assisting India in the operation.

Punjab Chief Minister Badal sought an unconditional apology from the British government for assisting India in the attack on the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, the holiest of the Sikh shrines.

The Bahujan Samaj Party, Bharatiya Janata Party and Akali Dal slammed the Congress for seeking help from Britain in the planning of the June 1984 action by the Indian Army to rid the Golden Temple complex of heavily armed militants.

Latest revelations in Britain have made it clear that India sought military advice before the government ordered Operation Bluestar.

BSP chief Mayawati said the Indira Gandhi government should not have taken advice from another country but sorted out the matter itself.

"I feel they should not have taken advice from any other country. There should not have been interference. It would have been better to find a solution within the country through talks," Mayawati told reporters in New Delhi.
