A pact was signed between Mahatma Gandhi and Viceroy Irwin on 5 March 1931, in which both parties agreed to some conditions put forth by the other. This was known as the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. Gandhi agreed to attend the Second Round Table Conference and withdraw the Civil Disobedience Movement. Viceroy Irwin also agreed to the terms: to release all the Satyagrahis who remained non-violent throughout the movement, allow people living near coastal areas to manufacture salt and withdraw all the ordinances issued by the government during the Civil Disobedience Movement.
