Q. Withdrawal of the NCM has led to a divide among the congress leaders regarding the strategy forward. In this context consider the following statements.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The correct option is A 1 and 2 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct:
A debate started among Congressmen on what to do during the transition period, i.e., the passive phase of the movement. One section led by C.R. Das, ML Nehru & Ajmal Khan wanted an end to the boycott of legislative councils so that the nationalists could enter them to expose the basic weaknesses of these assemblies & use these councils as an arena of political struggle to arouse popular enthusiasm. Those advocating entry into legislative councils came to be known as the Swarajists.
Statement 2 is correct:
Another school of thought led by Vallabhbhai Patel, R Prasad, Rajaji & M.A. Ansari came to be known as 'No-changers' opposed council entry, advocated concentration on constructive work, & continuation of boycott & noncooperation, & quiet preparation for the resumption of the suspended CDM. The differences over the question of council entry between the 2 schools of thought resulted in the defeat of Swarajists' proposal at the Gaya session (1922).
Statement 3 is incorrect:
Gandhi, initially opposed the proposal of council entry. In February 1924: But after his release from prison on health grounds, he moved towards reconciliation with Swarajists because he felt public opposition to the council entry would be counter-productive. The courageous & uncompromising manner in which Swarajists functioned convinced him that they won’t become just another limb of colonial administration
6 Nov 1924: Gandhiji brought the strife between the Swarajists & no-changers to an end, by signing a joint statement with Das & Motilal that the Swarajist Party would carry on work in the legislatures on behalf of the Congress & as an integral part of the Congress. This decision was endorsed in December at the Belgaum session.
