Nakli Nirankari Procession
On the day of Vaisakhi 13th April 1978 about 125 Singhs from Jatha Bhindran and Akhand Kirtani Jatha went to peacefully protest against the Nirankari procession deliberately held through the city of Amritsar and against Nakali Nirankari Gurbachan Singh's hurtful insults and direct attack against the Gurus.
Nakli Nirankari Guru - Gurbachan
Bhai Fauja Singh was barefooted and all the Singhs were reciting Gurbani. The Nakali Nirankari army fired at the unarmed Singhs, and Bhai Fauja Singh and 12 other Singhs became Shaheeds and 70-75 Singhs were wounded. After his Shaheedi, the Leaders and Jathedars of the Panth stated that Bhai Fauja Singh and the other Singhs had given "Shaheedi" for the great task from which we had been hiding. They had not only woken the Panth, but also made us stronger, so that we can pay more attention to this in the future.
“These are Sikhs who are prepared to live and die for righteousness, who exemplify the courage of Guru Gobind Singh in their daily life, who love Naam Simran as their life breath and who recognize the same spirit, the same love and the same infinite vibration of Naam which flows through the Nation of the Khalsa… There was none there to defend these courageous Sikhs, except God and Guru. Each one who fell uttered “Waheguru” and surely was received into the arms of the Guru as he died this martyr’s death.”
13 Gursikhs
The funeral took place on Saturday 15th April 1978 outside Gurdwara Ramsar Sahib, in front of a congregation of about 25-30,000. All the Shaheed Gursikhs were cremated together.
