Cabinet Mission consisting of himself, Sir Stafford Cripps, and A.V. Alexander would be sent to
negotiate with the Indian leaders the terms for the transfer of power to Indians. The Mission failed to

ANS 86. Explanation:
Tripuri session of congress 1939: It was held in Tripuri, a small village in the District Jabalpur of
Madhya Pradesh (Central Province), presided by Subhash Chandra Bose.
The internal strife in the Congress reached the climax at the Tripuri session. Bose in his presidential
address at Tripuri advocated programme of immediately giving the British Government a six-month
ultimatum to grant the national demand for independence and of launching a mass civil disobedience
movement if it failed to do so. Gandhi too believed that another round for mass struggle was
necessary to win freedom but said the time was not yet ripe for an ultimatum because neither the
Congress nor the masses were yet ready for struggle. This internal strife forced Bose to resign from
the president ship and Rajendra Prasad was elected in his place. Subsequently, in May, Bose and his
followers formed the Forward Bloc as a new party within the Congress and when on 9 July he gave a
call for an all-India protest against an AICC resolution, the Working Committee took disciplinary
action against him, removing him from the presidentship of the Bengal Provincial Congress
Committee and debarring him from holding any Congress office for three years.
A kisan manifesto was issued by the Kisan Congress and the influence of this manifesto was seen in

Maharashtra in December 1936. The second session of the Kisan Congress presided over by N.G.
Ranga was held along with the Indian National Congress session at Faizpur. The Faizpur Agrarian
Programme reiterated the demand made at Karachi for substantial reduction in both rent and revenue.

The official Congress unequivocally condemned the Nazi attack on Poland as well as Nazism and
Fascism, and declared that India could not be party to a war which was ostensibly being fought for
democratic freedom while that freedom was being denied to her and adopted a resolution at a meeting
of the Congress Working Committee held at Wardha. Hence option d is incorrect.
