Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 3 only
In his Gowalia Tank speech Gandhi told (i) government servants to stay in their jobs but declare allegiance to Congress (so he did NOT ask them to resign) and (ii) soldiers to remain in the army but refuse to fire on compatriots (he did NOT ask them to leave posts). He did, however, call upon the Princes to ‘accept the sovereignty of their own people’. Therefore only statement 3 is correct.
