Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Explanation:
Chittaranjan Das (also known as C.R. Das), whose life is a landmark in the history of India's struggle for freedom, was endearingly called 'Deshbandhu' (friend of the country). He was a lawyer by profession.
• C.R. Das presided over its third and fourth sessions of the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC). Hence option 2 is correct.
• C.R. Das played a major role in promoting the Non-cooperation movement and he gave up his practice of law as part of a boycott of law courts under the movement.
• He, along with Motilal Nehru was instrumental in the formation of the Congress-Khilafat Swaraj Party better known later as the Swaraj Party. C.R. Das was the President and Motilal Nehru one of the Secretaries of the new party. Hence option 1 is correct.
• C.R. Das passed away on 16 June 1925 at Darjeeling at the age of 55 while the Civil Disobedience Movement was launched in 1930. Hence option 3 is not correct.
