Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Azamgarh Proclamation, published on August 25, 1857, is a significant historical document attributed to Firoz Shah, a grandson of the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar [2]. It served as a manifesto for the rebels during the Revolt of 1857, appealing to various social classes—including zamindars, merchants, and public servants—to unite against British rule [2]. The proclamation highlighted the grievances of both Hindus and Muslims, emphasizing a shared struggle to restore the pre-British order [3]. Statement 1 is therefore correct as it directly refers to this 1857 rebel declaration. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Azamgarh Proclamation has no association with the underground movement of the 1942 Quit India Movement [5]. Since the question asks for the statement that is 'not correct', only statement 2 fits this criteria.
