Solution

The correct option is A a) i Only
Ans (a)
Held in Dec 1929. Jawaharlal Nehru was the president. This session marked a shift in the leadership from the Old to the New generation. Resolutions undertaken were Congress goal to be ‘Complete Independence’ or ‘Purna Swaraj’.

Round Table Conference to be boycotted
Jan 26th of every year to be celebrated as ‘Independence Day’
A resolution sponsored by Gandhi condemning the Revolutionary Terrorists’ bomb attack on the Viceroy’s train was passed by a narrow majority
On the midnight of Dec 31st 1929, the newly adopted tricolour flag of freedom was hoisted by Nehru on the banks of river Ravi. He declared ‘It’s a crime against man and God to submit any longer’. Swarajists walked out of the legislatures. In Feb 1930, the CWC met at Sabarmati Ashram and invested Gandhi with full powers to launch the Civil Disobedience Movement at a time and place of his choice. The Celebration of Independence Day on 26th Jan 1930 evoked little enthusiasm because of the opposition by Muslim League, Hindu Mahasabha, Justice Party, young Congressmen etc to the Civil Disobedience. It also resulted in clashes between the police and Congress volunteers. Hence, Gandhi had to evolve a strategy to break out of this impasse and give a broader meaning to the word ‘independence’ as opposed to it’s narrower meaning which had a divisive impact. Hence, on Jan 31st 1930, he announced an 11 point ultimatum for Lord Irwin
