Why did Gandhiji decide to withdraw the ‘Non-Cooperation Movement’ in February 1922? Explain any three reasons.
- MAHATMA Gandhi decided to withdraw the Non-Cooperation Movement, as he felt that the movement was turning violent in many places.
- Satyagrahis needed to be properly trained before they would be ready for mass struggle.
- Within the Congress, some leaders were by now tried of mass struggle and wanted to participate in elections to the provincial councils.
- They felt that it was important to oppose British policies within the councils.
- Younger leaders pressed for more radical mass agitation and for full independence.
