  • Listen carefully to the caller

अकाली जत्थों ने चरित्रहीन महन्तों के अधिकार से गुरुद्वारों को खाली करवाने का काम आरम्भ किया। उन्होंने हसन अब्दाल स्थित गुरुद्वारा, पंजा साहिब, जिला शेखूपुरा का गुरुद्वारा सच्चा सौदा तथा अमृतसर जिले का गुरुद्वारा चोला साहिब महन्तों से खाली करवा लिए। तरनतारन में अकालियों की महन्तों से मुठभेड़ हो गई। स्यालकोट स्थित गुरुद्वारा बाबा की बेर और लायलपुर (फैसलाबाद) जिला के गुरुद्वारे गोजरां में भी ऐसे ही हुआ।.अकाली दल फिर भी गुरुद्वारों को स्वतंत्र करवाने में जुटा रहा। 20 फरवरी, 1921 ई० को ननकाना साहिब गुरुद्वारा में एक बड़ी दुर्घटना घटी। जब अकाली जत्था शांतिपूर्वक ढंग से गुरुद्वारा पहुंचा तो वहाँ के महन्त नारायण दास ने 130 अकालियों का कत्ल करवा दिया। अंग्रेज़ सरकार ने अकालियों के प्रति कोई भी सहानुभूति प्रदर्शित न की। पर सारे प्रांत के मुसलमानों और हिन्दुओं ने अकालियों के प्रति सहानुभूति दिखाई।(a) चाबियाँ वाला मोर्चा क्यों लगाया गया?(b) गुरु का बाग़ घटना ( मोर्चे) का वर्णन करो।

इस घटना से सिक्ख भड़क उठे। सिक्खों ने कई और जत्थे भेजे जिन के साथ अंग्रेजों ने बहुत बुरा व्यवहार किया। सारे देश के राजनीतिक दलों ने सरकार की इस कार्यवाही की कड़ी निन्दा की। अंत में अकालियों ने ‘गुरु का बाग़’ मोर्चा शांतिपूर्ण ढंग से जीत लिया।
