Explanation

The Gandhi–Irwin Pact was signed on 5 March 1931. Gandhi agreed to call off the Civil Disobedience Movement and to attend the Second Round Table Conference in London. The government agreed to free political prisoners not guilty of violence, return confiscated property not yet sold, and allow people on the coast to make salt for their own use.

The Karachi session of the Congress (March 1931) endorsed the pact.
