Explanation

The Lahore session of the Indian National Congress in December 1929 was held under the presidency of Jawaharlal Nehru. At this historic meeting Nehru was elected President and the Congress passed the resolution declaring Purna Swaraj (complete independence) as its objective; the session is specifically noted for Nehru’s presidential address and the proclamation of full independence as the Congress goal [1]. Nehru’s nomination as president for the Lahore session — backed by Gandhi and intended to recognise the rising youth leadership and the acceptance of complete independence — is also recorded in contemporary accounts of the session and its decisions [2].
