Violent clashes broke out on Friday morning in a temple complex which houses the holiest Sikh shrine, injuring at least a dozen people.
The clashes between Sikh groups broke out in the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India's Punjab state, on the 30th anniversary of the controversial entry of the Indian army inside the holy shrine.
The army operation, titled 'Operation Bluestar,' was meant to drive out armed terrorists supporting separatist leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale from the temple complex regarded as a holy place by Sikhs around the world.
Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who ordered the operation, was killed by her Sikh body guards in retaliation months later.
Friday's clashes were triggered when a radical Sikh group's leader attempted to make a speech from the rostrum of the Akal Takht, one of the five most important seats of power in the Sikh religion, and chanted slogans supporting Khalistan, or independent Sikh homeland.
