	The agitation against these measures of the Government was led by Ajit Singh, Uncle of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, he called for "extreme measures". The first of the protests was organised in the [[Chenab Colony]], which was supposed to be the most affected by this bill. The first protest saw various organisations submitting memoranda to the government to redress their grievances, but the government failed to pay any heed to these documents. This agitation was followed by a protest at [[Lyallpur]]. These agitations led to the formation of secret societies like ''Anjuman-i- Muhibhan-i- Watan'', the founder of which was Ajit Singh, a Jat Sikh who was believed to have the backing of Lajpat Rai.This period also saw ~~protest~~ by the working class in railways of Rawalpindi.
