Answer – b

leadership to start the phase of mass civil disobedience. The Ahmedabad session of the Congress in

could launch a no-tax movement. Its fate was decided by the action of members of a Congress and
Khilafat procession in Chauri Chaura in Gorakhpur district of U.P. on 5 February 1922.Incorrect

Correct
Answer – a
- Palme Dutt in India Today, have continued to condemn the decision taken by Gandhiji to withdraw NCM, and seen in it proof of the Mahatma’s concern for the propertied classes of Indian society. According to Dutt, he withdrew it because the action at Chauri Chaura was a symbol and an indication of the growing militancy of the Indian masses, of their growing radicalization, of their willingness to launch an attack on the status quo of property relations. Frightened by this radical possibility and by the prospect of the movement going out of his hands and into the hands of radical forces, and in order to protect the interests of landlords and capitalists who would inevitably be at the receiving end of this violence, Gandhiji cried halt to the movement.
