Going slightly off topic and regarding this so called sant-indira connection. this is my take on it, apologies for any mistakes

During the late 70s Indira acquired dictatorial powers and suspended the constitution. she imprisoned political opponents, communists etc.....

The only people to stand up to her were the sikhs led by the akali dal.

she also didnt take kindly to the speech made by Sant Kartar Singh at Guru Tegh Bahadurs shaheedi program.

After her re-election, her son Sanjay passed away which led to her depression problems

Also she knew that Sikhs could challenge her rule and wanted a pawn to stand against the Akali's.

Moreover according to sangat singh, nehru had a secret document, meant for successor pm's, which outlined how to deal with the sikhs

This is where people come out with the bs that sant jee was congressi. but sant jarnail singh only cared about the panth and wasnt about to become a politicians pawn.

So as Darshi in his book states, Indira, fearing the Sikh morchas, started secret negotiations with Longowal who did not get on with Sant Jarnail Singh.

What followed was a step up in propaganda against sant jarnail singh and the whole 'congress agent' theory, supported by Longowals akalis. This provided the pretext for op bluestar to follow.

As for calling her sister, bibi - Sant Jarnail Singh always referred to others with respectable titles, even if that 'other' was Indira
