Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh finally issued an apology on social media on 7 June after netizens bashed him for paying tribute to Khalistani militants, including Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, on the 37th anniversary of Operation Blue Star.

Harbhajan had posted a picture with the caption "Salute to the martyrs" as his Instagram story. The text, on the image featuring Bhindranwale, was in Punjabi which read, "Heartfelt tribute to those martyred in Operation inside Shri Harmandir Sahib on June 1- June 6, 1984".
