Consider the following statements in respect of the Non-Cooperation Movement : I. The Congress declared the attainment of 'Swaraj' by all legitimate and peaceful means to be its objective. II. It was to be implemented in stages with civil disobedience and non-payment of taxes for the next stage only if 'Swaraj' did not come within a year and the Government resorted to repression. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation:
Both statements are correct. The Nagpur session of the Congress (1920) changed the objective to 'Swaraj' by all legitimate and peaceful means. The Non-Cooperation Movement was indeed planned in stages, with civil disobedience and non-payment of taxes reserved for later stages, contingent on the achievement of Swaraj within a year and government repression.
