The question is why do you doubt India newspapers will lie? This isn't a conspiracy like There Is No War in Ba Sing Se.

The wiki page you quoted for Operation Bluestar. Read the background portion of the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Blue_Star#Background

The party which made the separatist demand is called Shiromani Akali Dal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiromani_Akali_Dal

The party shifted to a moderate agenda in the 90s. Funnily enough, this party has been working with Modi's Hindutva party or BJP.

In comparison, J&K demands were raised by a party called National Conference. This party has never shifted its agenda and continued with demand for sometimes separatism and sometimes special status for J&K.

Politics runs on supporting specific agendas. J&K agenda is still supported. No one denies that. You will not find any Indian sources claiming that. While there is no popular party supporting the Khalistani agenda. So, Indian sources claim that.

While there are parties in Canada supporting and pushing this. So, you'd surely find facts in the international media saying there is support.
