Explanation:

The Harijan campaign aimed at root and branch eradication of untouchability practice. It was launched by Gandhiji post signing of Poona Pact in 1932. Non Cooperation Movement was during 1919 to 1922.

Gandhiji actively supported the activities of Harijan Sewak Sangh and even collected donations for the same.

Gandhiji gave utmost respect to traditional literature and shastras but if it propagated the untouchability practice, it was to be contradicted in every means.
