Select the correct answer from the codes given below:
Answer:
All of the above
Notes: At the Nagpur session in December 1920, some changes were made in the constitution of the congress. Provincial Congress Committees were reorganized on the basis of linguistic areas. So, statement 1 is correct. A working committee was set up consisting of 15 members, including the President and the secretaries. It would enable congress to function as a continuous political organization and would provide it with the machinery for implementing its resolutions. So, statement 2 is correct. As per the session, it was decided that the congress organization was to reach down to villages, small towns and mohallas. It reduced its membership fees also to enable the rural and urban poor to become members. Congress changed its stance from ‘agitating for swaraj within the constitutional limits’ to ‘agitating for swaraj within peaceful and legitimate means’. So, statement 3 is correct.
