Explanation

Both statements are correct regarding the Quit India Resolution passed on August 8, 1942, at Gowalia Tank, Bombay.

  • Statement 1 is correct: The resolution, drafted largely by Jawaharlal Nehru, explicitly stated that a free India would become an ally of the United Nations (the Allied Powers) and fight against the Axis powers (Fascism and Nazism). This was intended to clarify that the demand for British withdrawal was not an invitation to Japanese aggression.

This government was to be representative of all important sections of the people, and its primary task would be to defend India and resist aggression in cooperation with the Allied powers.
