Answer 1

Hint:On 19th December 1929, the Indian National Congress under the presidentship of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru declared independence of India or the poorna Swaraj, which meant complete self rule and independence from the British Empire.

Complete answer:
The Indian National Congress was established in 1885 and it grew as one of the most prominent pre- independence political parties in India. The congress session in 1929 that was held in Lahore, presently in Pakistan, proved to be very significant because in this session Indian National Congress headed by pandit Jawaharlal Nehru took the resolution of complete independence or Poorna Swaraj. Pandit Nehru declared that the only goal ahead now is attaining complete independence from British rule. The members of Indian National Congress and all the Indian Nationalists agreed that India should fight for complete independence or self-rule. In the midnight of 31st December 1929, in front of a huge crowd, the president of Congress pandit Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the flag of complete independence on the bank of river Ravi in Lahore. It was also decided by Indian national congress that 26 January 1930, would be observed as the day of complete or total independence and the people across the nation celebrated this day as independence day with zeal and enthusiasm. Poorna Swaraj was declared by pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in its Lahore session in Lahore.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note:The motion of complete independence or complete self-rule was approved by the Indian National Congress in its Lahore session in 1929, in which the President of Indian National Congress declared that the only goal ahead of them is attaining poorna Swaraj.
