Why did the Anandpur Sahib Resolution become controversial ?

The Anandpur Sahib Resolution became controversial because it asserted regional autonomy and wanted to refine centre-state relationship in the country. The resolution also spoke of the aspirations of the Sikh qaum (community or nation) and declared its goal as attaining the bolbala (dominance or hegemony) of the Sikhs. Thus, the resolution became controversial as it could be interpreted as a plea for a separate Sikh nation.
