This is the 3rd article in continuation of mentioned previous articles. 

When Dalip Singh was working in New Delhi in year 1929, his boss sent him to Lahore to follow Pandit Jawaharlal Lal Nehru who was going there to attend the annual session of Indian National Congress from 25^th Dec to 31^st Dec 1929. Various reports poured in the office   of Directorate Intelligence Bureau, New Delhi that Congress Party was going to declare "Total Independence" under the pressure of hardliner within the Congress and outside the Congress. There were, also, reports that Bhagat Singh and his comrades in Lahore Jail had made a plan with the help of absconding members of Hindustan Socialist Republic Association and Chander Shekhar Azad to organize big marches from Lahore, Bombay, Calcutta on 1^st January 1930 towards New Delhi to start war for "Total Independence." - SAMPORAN SAWARAJA

At Lahore, during his stay for 6-7 days Dalip Singh visited Central Jail Lahore, Bristol Jail of Labore and in the Court of Special Tribunal which was setup for the trial of Lahore Conspiracy cases. At Labore Dalip Singh carne to know about the pianoing of a joint action by the Indian National Congress, Socialist Activators and the hardliner being led by Hindustan Socialistic Republic association. According to that action plan after declaring the "Total Independence" on 31^st night big procession would proceed towards New Delhi from different places; Calcutta, Bombay, Bhopal, Ahmedabad and Labore on 1^st January, 1930 and reach at New Delhi on 26^th January. En route to New Delhi, leaders would motivate people for "Total Independence" and bring them all to ghero Viceroy at New Delhi to force the British to quit India.

But that move could not materialize on account of Bomb attack on Viceroy train on 23^rd Dec 1929. Lord Irwin escaped unhurt but that incident pressurized Mahatma Gandhi to withdraw from the planned action. Instead of that only, Pt. Jawaharlal Lal Nehru announced a declaration at Lahore. Dalip Singh was present at that time in the uniform of congress volunteer. According to him he saw Chander Shekhar Azad with Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi in the same uniform.

Second time, Dalip Singh visited Lahore on 15th -16^th March !931 to access the situation, which was created by some English officers to resign amass if the Viceroy would spare the life of Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukhdev under the pressure from Congressmen and the general public. Mr. Martin Luke Robertson smelled some conspiracy behind the threat. He immediately dispatched his team to Lahore.

So, Dalip Singh Alahabadi visited Labore, where he met another secret agent of his Delhi office name AFJAL Rahi alias Barkat Ali, and his duties were to look after the three convicted young men in the death cell. He was acting as a barber, as a sweeper (Jharu Master) in the cell No. 14, 15, and 16. He was deputed by the special branch of C.l.D.  to win over the sympathy of Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukhdev, who were sentenced to death by the Special Tribunal and were supposed to be hanged on 27^th October 1930 as per death warrant. But the execution could not be carried out, the reason being the secret planning of Lord Irwin and his advisors.

If we can recollect the records of those days from 7^th Oct 1930 onward, the Britisher were under the great pressure Independence movement being carried on by the Indian National Congress under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. Thousand volunteers were in jails all over India. The Englishmen were in favor of weakening the strength of agitation. So, they hatched a plan to use "the death sentence" of three as their old weapon of "Divide and Rule".

The political analysis of Congress Annual Session of Calcutta 1928-29 by the Directorate of Intelligence Bureau, there were three trends in Congress at that time, extreme Rightist, Centralist and extreme leftist. But none could survive independently, so it was their compulsion to work together. After the famous statement of Bhagat Singh and BK Dutt in Delhi Bomb Case on 6^th June 1929, the left element in the Congress got more teeth and Bhagat Singh became a hero of thousand Indians. He had used the print media very well to propagate his thoughts first in Delhi Case and then at Lahore during his trail.

So, the think tank of Lord Irwin postponed the execution secretly and unofficially on 27^th Oct 1930.

All the famous articles like "Why I am an Atheist" Oct 6-7, 1930, an open letter to Sardar Kishan Singh (Father) on Oct.4, 1930 (being published in "The TRIBUNE"), an open letter to Mahatma Gandhi being published in "PUNJAB KESRI" dated February 2, 1931, written by Bhagat Singh were taken out from the condemned cell by Affjal Rahi (Jharu Master) a secret agent. All the meetings with relatives or friends were banned in the first's week of August 1930. The only mean of communication with outer world was Rahi, who has had won over the confidence of Bhagat Singh. Affjal Rahi informed Bhagat Singh that his father Sardar Kishan Singh has submitted a petition to the Special Tribunal with a view to save him from the gallows. This news disturbed Bhagat Singh very much and when he heard that the said petition was only for him, he immediately wrote an open letter to his father. When the said letter was published in "The TRIBUNE" it served two purposes; firstly, Bhagat Singh got more publicity as a brave and courageous young man who could be a true Leader of young Indian, while the Britisher succeeded in stopping that petition in the light of said letter.

Just before the pronouncement of judgment, the Punjab Government had decided to release Bhai Randheer Singh, who was in jail for l5years and had fought many agitations in various jails for the welfare of prisoners; Bhagat Singh, Jatin Dass along with other also fought for the same cause in Lahore Jail non-violently. So, both Bhagat Singh and Bhai Randheer Singh had got regard for each other. One was only 23 years old young man and second was 52 years old freedom fighter. Both were mentally strong and remained true to their ideas. Two were in the same jail for 40 days from 16^th May 1930 to 4^th October 1930. Both had desire to meet each other but jail authorities did not allow for the same.

Chief Warden Mr. S Chopra and Jail superintendent Khan Sahib Mohamad Akabar played an important role in arranging an unofficial meeting between Bhagat Singh and Bhai Randheer Singh at 4 P.M. October 4, 1930, just three days before the judgment. Although it was the record meeting but it was arranged with the full knowledge of higher authorities. The information collected by Dalip Singh Alahabadi clearly show that, that meeting was the brain work of special cell of CID Punjab under Sardar Sant Singh Superintendent of CID.

On one hand, civil authorities of Labore wanted to keep the releasing of Bhai Randheer Singh a secret and without any disturbance, on other hand they desired to know about the future planning, if any, of Bhai Randheer Singh. They were also eager to know about the present state of mind of Bhagat Singh, whether he was repenting on his action or he was clear about his mission. What was discussed between Bhagat Singh and Bhai Randheer Singh for about two hours, till today is a point of contention?

Bhai Randheer Singh wrote down in brief about that meeting in a Punjabi book "JAIL CHITTHIAN" - (Letters from jail) in which he tried to convince the readers that Bhagat Singh had discussed in details why he had cut his hair and betrayed the old tradition of his ancestors. Accordingly, to that version Bhagat Singh was of the opinion that the print media (Newspapers) of Punjab were biased and communal that's why the Punjab's Newspaper did not mention the sacrifices of Gadharities (the old revolutionaries of 1915-16 movement) although their struggle was more precious than his sacrifice. Whereas Bhagat Singh got special coverage only because he has cut down his hair. Bhai Randheer Singh further wrote that Bhagat Singh had promised him to grow his hair onwards.

As mentioned earlier, the above said meeting was a planned trap of intelligence wing, so the authorities sent their agent Affjal Rahi to discuss with Bhagat Singh about the subject matter of meeting both the freedom fighter. Bhagat Singh was upset over some words being spoken by Bhai Ji. He was convinced by Rahi to defend his views in details thus the long article, "Why I am an Atheist" carne into existence on 5-6-7th October 1930. Bhagat Singh wrote in details about his position on religion and God. That article carne out from death cell through Affjal Rahi and became a property of secret files of Home Department of Punjab. The contents of that article gave a tool to racial English think tank to make use of it at a proper time.

The Britisher knew that Indian were very sensitive on religious matter and could not tolerate anything against GOD and Religion. And they used that article after the death of Bhagat Singh in 1932 when his name was going to be renowned in every house of Punjab irrespective of Hindu's Sikh's or Muslim's. People who had faith in GOD started looking otherwise. Hindu started considering him against their mythology and orthodox Sikh did not approve his action of cutting hair. To win sympathy for Bhagat Singh among Sikhs, Bhai Randheer Singh published his memories in 1936 and claimed that Bhagat Singh was a true Sikh at heart and had long hair at the time of his death.

Even after 75 years of the execution this controversy is still going on about the Martyr Bhagat Singh. Here lies the greatness of Bhagat Singh's personality that various groups are trying to identify him with their own sect. Whereas Bhagat Singh was a unique figure, throughout his political life he tried his best to be a unique, he grasped new ideas, and he experimented on new ideas and kept on evaluating his thoughts. He was an adventurous so he searched out many books, ideology. On one hand, he had a respect for Sikh GURU and took guidance from Sikh History, for example he stated on 6^th June I 929 in his written statement in Bomb Case - "The elimination of force" at all cost is Utopian, and the new movement  which has arson  in the country, and of that dawn we have given a warning, is inspired by the ideals which guided GURU GOBIND SINGH and  SHIVAJI-LENIN.

If he has had such regards for Sikh GURU then what was the compulsion to write an article, which was used against his personality? If he had no faith in religion then why he was so eager to meet Bhai Randheer Singh a committed religious man who fought for religious symbol in jails against the British. The answer to above questions may be contradictory or may be the same. But the Historian did nothing to solve the controversy. But surely the intention of Bhagat Singh was different, what we all intended to give.

He was not against religion but was against the use of religion to exploit the people. He tried to convince his people to be realistic and follower of natural sciences and not to a blind faith.

The British made full use of his contradictory position regarding the said meeting of October 1930, and made his death a mystery. There are many stories about the last rites. Britisher put up their own explanation regarding the early execution (as considered by most of us) at night. The dead bodies of the entire three young Martyrs were not handed over to their relatives while all of them were present in Lahore at that time. Some people thought that the authorities took the dead bodies from jail after breaking the backside wall. Why? -A big crowd was present on the "Main Gate of Central Jail in the evening. What a silly explanation, other one believed that the dead bodies were cut to pieces before taking out. What was the urgency to do that? Was the Britisher afraid of dead bodies? Till today all the historian of Indian History are agreed with the explanations being put forwarded by the civil authorities of Lahore about the last rites. According to the prevailing story the dead bodies of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Raj Guru were taken to bank of Satluj in Ferozpur District and put on the pyre. But the news of cremation brought a large crowd of people from nearby villages like GANDA SINGH WALA came there and so the bodies were consumed fully by fire and British were forced to throw the half-burnt bodies in the flowing water.

But all those stories are doubtful, if we apply our general knowledge about the Geographical situation of the site, where the cremation bad taken place at that time i.e., on March 23-24, 1931. It was just 100 yards away from the busy railway track of North Western Railway linking Ferozpur to KASUR-LAHORE-MULTAN and the National Highway Road on which all the traffics were passing across the SATLUJ, on northern side of the present site at Husainiwala and Dipalpur Main Canal which was originating from the Hussianiwala Headwork's western side just 50 yards away on southern side. If the British had tried to conceal the cremation, how far it was safe to choose such a place nearer the traffic area?
