Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
It was formed in 1923 by members of the INC who had opposed the suspension of all civil resistance in 1922 in response to the Chauri Chaura tragedy. They suggested that the nationalists should end the boycott of the legislative councils, enter them, expose them as ‘sham parliaments’ and as ‘a mask which the bureaucracy has put on,’ and obstruct ‘every work of the council.’ This, they argued, would not be giving up non-cooperation but continuing it in a more effective form by extending it to the councils themselves. C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru thus formed the Swaraj party.
