there are other reasons why sant moved his headquarters to the akal takht including the leaking of the plan to attack the complex to sant ji whicxh involved the govt making a replica of darbar sahib and planning an assault using it. i hope sum1 will make this info available because i dont have time right now. also sant ji enjoyed the support of the sikh masses, he was the main person leading the dharam yudh morcha, the akal takht is the centre of all sikh political affairs so his place was in darbar sahib in my opinion. if sant ji was doing anything wrong and didnt have the support of the masses at the time other sikh groups would have called for him to be removed and could have removed him themselves as there were other groups that had men and arms. fact is he was doing nothing wrong. he said many times that if he done anything wrong and the police was to put a warrant out for his arrest he would hand himself in. when the police arrested him they were forced to let him go because they had no evidence against him. that crap tully was sayin last night about the govt pulling strings to let him go is rubbish, it was the govt who put pressure on the state police in the first place to arrest sant as the police did not want to upset the masses by doing so. why would the govt need to pull strings if teh police didnt want to arrest him in the first place because they were afraid to upset the sikhs? thats why they sent the army in to attack darbar sahib and kill sant ji because the police were unwilling to go against sant ji, otherwise why not use the police and other states para military if they wernt affraid to arrest him initially.
even before the attack it was carried out in secret, they gave no chance to surrender, they didnt even tell the pilgrims inside an attack was comin, do u really think that thousands of unarmed people would be in darbar sahib complex if they knew a full scale assault was about to take place. brar said himself that they gave a chance to the people to get out after 2 days even though that has been flatly denied by all those who were inside at the time. if brar couldnt wait 1 day for the rememberance day of guru jis shaheedi to pass because he sed 1 million sikhs would have surrounded them which swords etc then its a bit obvious that he wouldnt give the sikhs inside fair warning to surrender or for pilgrims to get out because this would have given time to get the word out to the other sikh around punjab and would have given sikh inside a chance to prepare. fact is tho he didnt give them warning cus they wanted to kill every1 inside to send a msg and to destroy any chamces of sikhs gettin autonomy or independance.
