Question

Why did Mahtma Gandhi decide to call off civil diobedience movement?

Answer 1

The Civil Disobedience Movement was gaining pace in different parts of the country. The success of the movement was a cause of tension for the British. The British thus resorted to brutal force to suppress the movement. Abdul Ghaffar Khan, a was arrested in April 1930. Mahatma Gandhi himself was arrested. Peaceful satyagrahis were attacked, women and children were beaten, and about 100,000 people were arrested. Mahatma Gandhi realized that it was the fair time to call off the movement and so he entered into the Gandhi- Irwin Pact.
