BJP MP Subramanian Swamy today said Operation Bluestar, carried out by the Indian Amy in 1984, was a "mischievous blunder".
Talking to reporters here, Swamy said, "Operation Bluestar was a mischievous blunder and it should not have been done..."
Asked about the incidents of rape in various parts of the country, including the ones in which minor girls were the victims, Swamy said, "Capital punishment is not enough...rapists also deserve surgery (castration) so that in future, they dare not even think of committing such a heinous crime."
