Taking control of the law and order machinery of the State by the Congress Working Committee was not a part of the action programme of the Non-Cooperation Movement.
The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-1922) was based on the principle of non-violent non-cooperation with the British government. Its programme included steps like:
– Boycott of government jobs, titles, honours, schools, colleges, courts, and foreign goods.
– Promotion of Swadeshi goods, Khadi, national schools, and arbitration courts.
– Strengthening the Congress organization at the grassroots level (village and mohalla).
Statement C suggests taking violent or administrative control of the state machinery, which is contrary to the fundamental principles of non-violent non-cooperation that aimed to paralyze the government by withdrawing support, not by seizing power through force.
