In 1937, Bagh Singh, a Sikh tenant of Ghulam Hussain, in Jandiala Sher Khan in Sheikhupura, slaughtered an animal by jhatka and for this he was insulted and turned out of his land by Muslims of the village. (thread/6)

This news was dispatched to Kartar Singh Jhabbar, a Jathedar of the Akali Movement, who organised a 2 day "Jhatka Conference" and requested that 50 goats be presented at the conference, for 25 goats each day were to be slaughtered with the jhatka method. (2/6)

The Muslims of the village and local area, brought in more Muslims with the intent to attack the Sikhs & to prevent them from doing jhatka, but there were over 2000 Sikhs armed and waiting for them.
In the fight 1 Sikh was shot, and 6 Muslims were killed. (3/6)

The local MLA Abdul Ghazanfar claimed the Sikhs had attacked innocent Muslims, and the case went right to the Punjab Government.
The premier of Punjab, Sikander Hayat Khan requested an interview with Jhabbar, and Khan was visibly annoyed when he heard of the jhatka slaughter(4/6)

+that took place. He asked Jhabbar " what if we decided to kill 50 cows there?" Jhabbar candidly said "then we would kill 50 pigs there." Khan asked why, Jhabbar replied "The issue is not over the killing of cows or pigs, but that if Muslims have the freedom to perform+(5/6)

+halal as per their religion, then why can't the SIkhs have this freedom to the same?"
Khan had nothing to say, and the court cases against Jhabbar was dropped. (6/6)
