Speak out India is a NewsX special show which focuses on the main news event of the day. A Gurdwara management committee in Haryana has sparked controversy by refusing to hold prayers to mark the death anniversary of 1965 war hero Lt- Gen R.S. Dayal. The nodal body of the shrine cited Lt-Gen Dayal's participation in Operation Bluestar - an army operation carried out in 1984 to flush out militants from the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar - as the reason for declining permission to his family members to carry out the rituals. So we ask you today - Are army heroes being tossed aside for petty politics? Is India ignoring Punjab's resurgent separatism? India comments and shares its view only at this NewsX special show Speak out India.
