Claim record · DOS-II.12-NANKANA

Nominated to the Nankana Sahib administering committee

A Strongly documented Movement

After the Nankana Sahib massacre of February 1921 — in which the mahant’s hired men killed a peaceful jatha inside the shrine — he was nominated a member of the committee appointed to administer Gurdwara Nankana Sahib.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Strongly documented — permits.
