Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect. The popular salt march was started by Mahatma Gandhi and it was accompanied by 78 of his trusted volunteers. The march covered over 240 miles, from Gandhi's ashram in a place called Sabarmati to the Gujarati coastal town of Dandi. On 6 April he reached Dandi, and ceremonially violated the law, and started manufacturing salt by boiling seawater. This movement marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement. It was after the Civil Disobedience Movement that he could never return to Sabarmati Ashram due to pledge.
Statement 2 is incorrect. C F Andrews was Gandhi's friend who convinced him to return to India from South Africa.
