It was later disclosed that the Hindu majority Lahore was originally a part of India. But Jinnah objected to the ‘Radcliffe Line’ stating that all the four metropolitan towns of Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay and Lahore were given to India. Finally, the Indian Prime Minister Nehru was convinced by Gandhi to let go Lahore and thus, Lahore was acceded to Pakistan. The inclusion of Lahore in Pakistan sparked massive protest in Lahore. Hindus and Sikhs gathered at the Shahalmi locality and Anarkali Bazaar area in Lahore held a protest march against the accession of Lahore to Pakistan.
