In The Stream of
Revolution
Even at home, Bhagat Singh could not sit idle. At that time the Akali Dal arranged a
procession. But in order to prevent it, the District Collector Dil Bagh Singh issued an
order: Nobody should supply either food or drink to the members of the Akali Dal.
Even at home, Bhagat Singh could not sit idle. At that time the Akali Dal arranged a
procession. But in order'-to prevent it, the District Collector Dil Bagh Singh issued an
order: Nobody should supply either food
or drink to the members of the Akali Dal.
The Collector who issued the order belonged to Bhagat Singh's family. But being a
government officer, he hated the revolutionaries.
Bhagat Singh thought of helping the Akali Dal people visiting his village. Heexplained the
situation to the villagers and arranged to supply food secretly to the Akali Dal people at
night. Thus a week passed. The Dal's program went on continuously and successfully.
Throughout the day, there used to be talks on the country's freedom and the duty of the
people. Bhagat Singh also used to speak.
The Collector grew angry that the people had helped the Dal against his orders, He issued
a warrant to arrest Bhagat Singh. Then Bhagat Singh was only seventeen. So he was a minor
and could not be arrested.
The Collector grew angrier. "Bhagat Singh may be too young but his brain is not too
young!" he grumbled. |
