行動過程
6月3日,旁遮普全邦實行36小時宵禁,這段時間包括阿冉宗師犧牲紀念日(Matyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev)──錫克教的重要節日,每年在此節日會有大規模的錫克教徒聚集。引發錫克教徒不滿,同時政府也中斷當地的電力與實施媒體管制。6月5日夜晚,印度軍隊在現場指揮官布拉爾指揮下突擊哈曼迪爾寺。該部隊於6月7日上午完全控制哈曼迪爾寺。造成軍隊,平民和武裝分子均有傷亡。錫克教領袖賈奈爾·辛格·賓德蘭瓦勒和沙贝格·辛格(Shabeg Singh)在行動中被殺害,錫克教徒於是展開報復;總理英迪拉·甘地於藍星行動後4個月遭到錫克教保鑣刺殺身亡,導致印度後來發生大規模反錫克教動亂(傷亡人數有多種版本),而策劃並監督藍星計畫的維德雅(Arun Shridhar Vaidya)也在1986年8月10日遭暗殺槍擊斃命。
後續影響
錫克教徒與廟方警衛爆發衝突
2014年6月6日,也就是藍星行動30週年,錫克教政黨「最高阿卡利黨(阿姆利則)」(Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar))黨魁曼恩(Simranjit Singh Mann)與支持者試圖強行從金廟旁的重要建築「永恒王座」(Akal Takht)內發表演說,並高呼錫克教分離主義口號,遭到廟方阻止。支持者與錫克教寺廟最高管理委員會(Shiromani Gurudwara Parbhandhak Committee,SGPC)警衛部隊爆發衝突。雙方各自揮舞錫克教徒身上配掛的長刀與警衛部隊使用的木棍,大批信徒爭相走避。報導說,事件後至少有12名參與衝突的曼恩支持者和警衛部隊人員受傷。情況已獲控制。衝突後,錫克教強硬派組織哈沙黨(Dal Khalsa)發起罷工。為防範事端,1500名鎮暴部隊部署於阿姆利則多處地點。
現場指揮官於英遇襲
《印度時報》報導,倫敦時間2012年9月30日晚上10時40分,藍星計畫指揮官、退役中將布拉爾(Kuldeep Singh Brar)與妻子米娜(Meena)在晚餐後步出飯店遭纏錫克教頭巾的4名男子攻擊,其中3人企圖以短刀對布拉爾割喉,布拉爾經極力反抗後身受重傷,緊急送醫救治後並無生命危險。[32]
