Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) In 1931, the Congress Session at Karachi opposed Gandhi-Irwin Pact
The 1931 Karachi session of the Congress actually ratified (not opposed) the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, so statement (d) is incorrect while the other three statements are historically accurate. The Rowlatt Act’s nationwide protests culminated in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre; Subhas Chandra Bose created the Forward Bloc in 1939; and Bhagat Singh was among the leaders who reorganised the Hindustan Republican Association as the HSRA in 1928.
