Statement 1 is correct as Annie Besant became the first woman President of the Indian National Congress during the Calcutta session in 1917. Statement 2 is incorrect; while the 1916 Lucknow session was historic for the Congress-League Pact and the reunification of Moderates and Extremists, it was presided over by Ambica Charan Mazumdar, not Madan Mohan Malviya.
