Tripuri Session of INC :

In March 1939 the Congress session took place at Tripuri, in the Central Provinces (near Jabalpur in present Madhya Pradesh).
S.C. Bose was re-elected as the President as opposed to Pattabhi Sitaramayya (Gandhi’s candidate).
He was in favor of giving a six-month ultimatum to Britain to grant the national demand of independence; if the ultimatum was rejected, he said, a mass civil disobedience movement should be launched. Gandhi, on the other hand, was fi rm in the belief that it was not the time for such ultimatums as neither the Congress nor the masses were yet ready for struggle.
Bose tried to win Gandhi’s con fi dence but did not succeed and as a result he resigned from the president’s post in April 1939. This led to the election of Rajendra Prasad as president of the Congress .
In May, Bose and his followers formed the Forward Bloc as a new party within the Congress.
Among the resolutions at Tripuri was an interesting one relating to China: “The Congress sends its greetings to the people of China and its deepest sympathy in their trials and privations in their struggle against ruthless and inhuman imperialism. It congratulates them on their heroic resistance. The Congress expresses its approval of the sending of a Medical Mission on its behalf to the people of China as a worthy symbol of Indian solidarity with China”.
