With respect to the “Ramgarh Session of the Indian National Congress”, consider the following statements:
1. Gandhiji was the President of the Session.
2. Sovereignty must rest with the people, whether in the states, the princely states or the provinces.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 2, "2 only." The Ramgarh Session of the Indian National Congress took place in 1940, and the President of that session was Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, not Gandhi, making statement 1 incorrect. The session emphasized that sovereignty should rest with the people, which reflects Congress’s stance towards both the British-ruled provinces and the princely states, making statement 2 correct.
