August 08, 2005: India Army Carts Off Rare Books from Library
"Despite tall promises made by the then Defence Minister, Mr George Fernandes, the SGPC, even after a lapse of two decades, has not received the invaluable manuscripts and books taken from the Sikh Reference Library by the army. These books and manuscripts were taken in gunny bags and big trunks by the army to an unknown place after Operation Blue Star.
Though the SGPC had raised the issue with President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam during his visit to the Golden Temple, the issue still remains unresolved, much to the chagrin of Panthic organisations."
