▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: B. 2 and 3

The Lahore Congress session of 1929 is indeed a landmark event in Indian history. It was here that the Indian National Congress, under the presidentship of Jawaharlal Nehru, officially declared Purna Swaraj (complete independence) as its ultimate goal. The session also saw the adoption of the tricolor flag as the national flag. However, the rift between the extremists and moderates had largely healed by this time, especially after the Lucknow Pact of 1916 and the subsequent Home Rule Movement. The two-nation theory was a later development and not addressed in this session.
