Statement 2 is not correct; the Azamgarh Proclamation refers to the declaration by the rebels of 1857, not the Revolt of 1942.

The Azamgarh Proclamation was issued on August 25, 1857, by Prince Feroze Shah, a grandson of the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, from Azamgarh. It was a significant document articulating the grievances against the British and outlining the vision of the rebels for the future of India.

The proclamation addressed various sections of society – zamindars, merchants, public servants, artisans, sepoys, and pundits/fakirs – appealing to them to join the revolt and promising specific benefits or redressal of grievances under a new rule that would restore the old order and ensure justice and prosperity. It did not pertain to the Quit India Movement of 1942.
