The Sacrifice at Panja Sahib (October 30, 1922)
On hearing that the Sikhs arrested at Guru Ka
Bagh were being escorted in a train to Naushera Jail (Attock), the Sikh
Sangat (devotees) of Panja Sahib decided under the leadership of Bhai Partap
Singh and Bhai Karam Singh to offer them refreshment come what may. When
the station master expressed his inability to stop the train, Bhai Partap
Singh and Bhai Karam Singh alongwith hundreds of others lay on the railway
track. The train stopped and langer was served to the arrested Sikhs but
not before the train had crushed both under its wheels. |
