Explanation:

Statement 1: A left-wing nationalist political party, the Forward Bloc of the INC was formed in 1939 by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, who had resigned from the presidency of the Indian National Congress after being outmaneuvered by Mohandas K. Gandhi.
Statement 2: Following Independence and Partition, the party national council met in Varanasi on February 1948. The national council meeting was also preceded by a decision of the Indian National Congress in the beginning of the year to expel all dissenting tendencies within the Congress,including the Forward Bloc.Thus the party decided to renounce any links with the Congress once and for all, and reconstruct itself as an independent opposition party.
Statement 3: The party subscribes to Left-wing nationalism; Socialism; Anti-Imperialism; and Marxism.Inside India, local activists of the Forward Bloc continued the anti-British activities without central co-ordination.The party is still active in India. AIFB has branches throughout the country, but the main strength of the party is concentrated in West Bengal. It is part of the Left Front government in there, and Forward Bloc has various ministers in the state government.
