1981.: Secret meeting of Akali Dal where strong opinions were expressed for Khalsitan.

A secret meeting of the Akali Dal was held in a remote Sikh pilgrim centre, "Guru-Ka-Lahore", in Shivalik Hills. Those who took part in this conclave were Gurcharan Singh Tauhra, Prakash Singh badal, Sukhjinder Singh, Atma Singh, Jiwan Singh Umranangal, and Rajinder Singh. There was a strong opinion expressed at the meeting in favour of Khalistan, i.e., an independent sovereign state for the Sikhs. After a protracted and exciting debate, a common meeting ground was struck to adjust the differing viewpoints. A Dharam Yudh Morcha or struggle for enforcing the religious rights of the Sikhs became henceforth the Sikh political motto.

Sant Harchand Singh served an ultimatum on the Union Government that if demands of the Sikhs were not accepted by Aug. 31, 1981, they would float an all-out morcha or agitation.
