They renewed their own pledge of loyalty in public to make any sacrifices necessary for the freedom of their country. They declared that they had followed in the footsteps of General Hari Singh Nalwa, Akali Phula Singh and other brave national leaders who had lit the others’ paths by their own glorious deeds.
