UPSC removed this question.

Correct answer: (b) 1, 2 and 4 only

Explanation

  1. A

    1 only

    1 only. The Pact also withdrew CDM ordinances and released non-violent prisoners as usually listed. An enquiry into police excesses was refused.

  2. B

    1, 2 and 4 only

    1, 2 and 4 only. RTC invitation, ordinance withdrawal, release of non-violence prisoners — the usual true trio. Police-excess enquiry was not accepted.

  3. C

    3 only

    3 only. Gandhi’s police-enquiry demand was the rejected limb.

  4. D

    2, 3 and 4 only

    2, 3 and 4 only. Keeps the rejected enquiry.

Summary. The Commission later dropped this item, so there is no official key to mark. Still walk the options. GandhiIrwin (1931) invited Congress to the Second RTC, withdrew Civil Disobedience ordinances, and released prisoners not charged with violence. An enquiry into police excesses was not conceded. WRAP does not stamp Official key on a withdrawn row.
