The 1929 Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress, presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru, is highly significant because it was there that the Congress adopted ‘Poorna Swaraj’ (complete independence) as its ultimate goal. A resolution was passed declaring that the aim of the Congress was the attainment of Poorna Swaraj.
– The session was held in Lahore in 1929.
– Jawaharlal Nehru was the president of the session.
– The Declaration of Poorna Swaraj was passed.
– January 26, 1930, was designated as the first Poorna Swaraj Day.
Prior to 1929, the demand was often for ‘Swaraj’ or self-government within the British Empire. The Lahore session marked a radical shift in the stance of the Indian National Congress, demanding complete separation from British rule.
