Sikh Youth Federation Bhindranwala Senior Vice President and Damdami Taksal student Bhai Ranjit Singh reportedly performed the ardas at Gurdwara Angitha Sahib, which stands as memorial for the Saka 1978 martyrs. It is notable here that these 13 Sikhs were massacred by Nirankaris while they were protesting against anti-Sikh activities of the then Nirankari chief Gurbachan. Saka 1978 was a turning point in recent Sikh history as the denial of justice to the Sikhs in this case had crystallized the political subjugation of the Sikhs in India.
