The Lahore session of the Indian National Congress held in December 1929, under the presidency of Jawaharlal Nehru, is most famous for adopting ‘Poorna Swaraj’ (complete independence) as the objective of the Congress.

At this session, the resolution for Purna Swaraj was passed, and it was also decided that January 26, 1930, would be celebrated as ‘Purna Swaraj Day’ throughout India. The session also authorised the Congress Working Committee to launch a program of civil disobedience.

The boycott of the Simon Commission was decided in earlier sessions (like Madras in 1927). Demands for commutation of Bhagat Singh’s sentence intensified later, particularly in 1931. ‘No rent-no tax’ campaigns were part of the Civil Disobedience movement that followed the Lahore session’s resolutions but were not the sole defining feature of the session itself.
