12. What they returned?
● Worried by the Movement, the
colonial government began arresting
Congress leaders one by one, leading
to violent clashes at many places.
● When Abdul Ghaffar Khan, a devout
disciple of Mahatma Gandhi was
arrested in April 1930, angry crowds
demonstrated in the streets of
Peshawar, facing armoured cars and
police firing. Many were killed.

13. What we did again?
■ When Mahatma Gandhi himself was arrested, industrial
workers in Sholapur attacked police posts, municipal
buildings, law courts and railway stations – all structures
that symbolized the British rule.
■ A frightened government responded with brutal repression,
Peaceful Satyagrahis were attacked, women and children
were beaten up and about 1,00,000 people were arrested.

14. Coming to the Conclusion
● In such a situation, Gandhiji decided to
call off the Movement and entered into a
pact with Irwin on 5th March 1931.
● He agreed to participate in the Second
Round Table Conference in London and
the Government agreed to release the
political Prisoners.
● Gandhiji went to London for the
Conference, but the negotiations broke
down and he returned disappointed.

15. ● When he came back to India, Gandhiji discovered
that Jawaharlal Nehru and Ghaffar Khan were
both in jail.
● The Congress had been declared illegal, and a
series of measures had been imposed to prevent
meetings, demonstrations and boycotts.
● Gandhiji relaunched the Civil Disobedience
Movement. For over a year, the movement
continued, but by 1934, it lost its momentum.
