2. Swarajists were allowed to work in the legislative council as an Integral part of the congress.

Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?

Explanation :  Belgaum session was concluded with an agreement between Gandhi ji, revolutionaries and Swarajists in which Swarajists were allowed to work in the legislative council as an Integral part of the congress. Towards the end of 1924, there was a massive crackdown on the Revolutionaries and the Swarajists by colonial Government due to which Gandhiji decided to accept all the demands of Swarajists. The Incident was followed by the Belgaum session of Congress which was held in December 1924 at Belgaum (Near Goa). An agreement was signed between both the sides which allowed the Swarajists to work in the councils as an Integral part of the congress.
