Explanation

The Jallianwala Bagh gathering on April 13, 1919, was to protest the arrest of Dr. Satyapal and Saifuddin Kitchlew, two prominent nationalist leaders in Amritsar. Their arrest on April 10, 1919, angered the local population. While it was Baisakhi day, the gathering was specifically a political protest, not primarily for prayers.
