Explanation:

The Indian National Congress Benares session was presided over by G.K. Gokhale.
The goal of the Indian National Congress as 'self government or Swaraj like that of the United Kingdom or the Colonies' was declared at the 1906 session at Calcutta presided over Dadabhai Naroji.
The Indian National Congress took up the Swadeshi call and the Banaras Session, 1905, presided over by G.K.Gokhale, supported the Swadeshi and Boycott Movement for Bengal. The militant nationalists led by Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal, Lajpat Rai and Aurobindo Ghosh were,
however, in favour of extending the movement to the rest of India and carrying it beyond the programme of just Swadeshi and boycott to a full fledged political mass struggle. The aim was now Swaraj and the abrogation of partition had become the 'pettiest and narrowest of all political objects'. The moderates, by and large, were not as yet willing to go that far.
