Which of the following pacts suspended the Civil Disobedience Movement?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Gandhi-Irwin Pact .
The Gandhi-Irwin Pact, signed in March 1931, led to the suspension of the Civil Disobedience Movement. This agreement was made between Mahatma Gandhi and the then Viceroy of India, Lord Irwin. According to the pact, the British government agreed to release political prisoners who had not engaged in violence and allowed peaceful picketing of liquor and foreign cloth shops. In return, Gandhi agreed to suspend the movement and attend the Second Round Table Conference in London. Though it brought a temporary pause in the struggle, many nationalists were dissatisfied, as key demands like complete independence were unmet.
