The Rakab Ganj agitation

A Strongly documented Movement

When the government demolished a boundary wall of Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib, Delhi, to suit New Delhi construction plans, he organised public meetings in protest and was one of the hundred Sikhs who volunteered to lay down their lives to have the wall restored.

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