It was their first priority to save the heir. In MP they showed during war they send Paratap and his step brothers to Pratap's maternal grand parents house to keep them safe. Pratap's choti ma was pregnant so other queens didn't let her commit suicide and send her to some secret place with her bandi to keep her baby safe. I have seen something like that in an old english movie to where they send the little prince with a maid to keep him safe.
This is what they do. So that the heir could survive and later may win the kingdom again. Isn't HB and Humayu did the same with Jalal by giving him to MA and BK.
They could have send Jo and Rahim to Amer. Jo should have told everyone. Cause protecting the heir is their first duty.
