Who did not accompany Gandhiji during his visit to the NWFP in October, 1938 ?
Explanation
Gandhiji visited the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) in October 1938 at the invitation of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (also known as the "Frontier Gandhi") to observe the non-violent movement of the Khudai Khidmatgars. During this tour, his entourage consisted of close associates including Dr. Sushila Nayar (his personal physician), Amtus Salam (a dedicated ashram member), and his secretary Pyarelal.
Jawaharlal Nehru did not accompany Gandhiji on this specific visit because he was in Europe during that period. Nehru had left India in June 1938 to visit countries like Spain, Britain, and France, and he only returned to India in November 1938. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan was the primary host and was with Gandhiji throughout the visit as they traveled through various districts of the province.
