History that has been hidden or NOT talked about much
History that has been hidden: On the midnight of 9th September 1947, Sardar Patel was informed by the RSS that the Muslims of Delhi were planning to blow up the Parliament House on 10th September and kill all the ministers and hoist the Pakistani flag on the Red Fort.
Since the information was from the Sangh, there was no question of distrust. Patel immediately swung into action and called the commander Aakin Lake and asked about the military situation.
At that time, there were very few soldiers in Delhi. Aakin Lake said that calling the troops stationed in the surrounding areas to Delhi is also not free from danger. Overall, Aakin Lake meant that this cannot be done so quickly, it requires time. All this talk was happening in front of Viceroy Mountbatten, but Patel was Patel. He told Aakin Lake, “Send a message to the various cantonments, send whatever spare troops they have to Delhi immediately.” Ultimately this was done.
The troops started arriving from the evening of the same day. By the next day, enough troops had reached Delhi.
Military action:
Military action began. All the places in Delhi about which the Sangh had given information were raided simultaneously and a large quantity of arms were recovered from each place. The maximum number of arms were recovered from the Paharganj mosque, Sabzi Mandi mosque and Mehrauli mosque. At many places, Muslims fought with Sten guns and Bren guns, but they were helpless against the army. The toughest fight took place in the 'Kakwan building' located in the Sabzi Mandi area. It took the army more than twenty-four hours to capture this one building.
The army was also confronted with sten guns and Bren guns from the Mehrauli mosque. The army was able to capture the mosque only after a continuous fight of four to five hours.
According to the then Congress President Acharya Kripalani:
“The Muslims had collected weapons. When their houses were searched, stores of bombs, firearms and ammunition were found. Sten guns, Bren guns, mortars and wireless transmitters were found in large quantities. Factories secretly manufacturing these were also caught.
Fierce fighting took place at many places, in which these weapons were used openly. The police was dominated by Muslims. Due to this, the government had to face a lot of difficulty in suppressing the riots. Many of these policemen fled with their uniforms and weapons and joined the rebels. The loyalty of the rest who were left was also doubtful. The government had to call police and army from other provinces. (Kripalani, Gandhi, page 292-293)
Muslim government officials were the planners:
Who were these people who planned to capture Delhi? They were not ordinary people. Among them were senior Muslim government officials, on whom the Indian government had great faith. Among them were senior police officers of Delhi at that time and senior officials of Delhi University, who were Muslims.
Every aspect was carefully thought out and written down and those written papers were kept safely in a safe in the residence of a senior official of the university.
In those days, RSS volunteers who were spying on Muslim officers by posing as Muslims came to know about this and informed the RSS officials. RSS officials assigned the responsibility of obtaining the documents of the scheme to a volunteer named Khosla.
Khosla prepared a group of suitable volunteers and all of them reached the residence of the university official at night in Muslim attire. Workers of the Muslim National Guard were guarding there. Khosla greeted them 'Walaikum Assalam' and said, "We have come from Aligarh. Now it is our duty to guard here. You people go and sleep." They left.
He brought the safe from the storehouse:
Khosla's men took out that safe from the mansion and put it on a truck and took it away. When those papers were taken out and looked at, everyone was stunned.
A meeting of some volunteer government officials was called at night in one of the bungalows of the Members of Parliament in New Delhi these days and the plan of capturing Delhi, recorded in those papers, was discussed. From this discussion, it came to light that this plan is so big and widespread that we cannot foil it at the level of the Sangh. Only the army can foil it. Therefore, we should inform Sardar Patel about this. As a result, two-three activists from that meeting went straight to Sardar Patel's bungalow at around one o'clock in the night and woke him up and gave all this information. Patel said, "What if this is not true?" The activists replied, "You make us sit here and get your intelligence department to investigate. If this is not proved to be true, then put us in jail." After this, Sardar Patel came into action.
Imagine, if Sardar Patel had not believed the above information of the Sangh or had been influenced by the words of Aachen Lake, then the Government of India would have had to rush and make its capital in Lucknow, Calcutta or Mumbai and as a result, today the border of Pakistan would have definitely extended till Delhi.
