Who among the following was associated with the foundation of Ghadar Party ?

Lala Hardayal was the primary figure associated with the foundation of the Ghadar Party. In 1913, he settled in San Francisco and founded the Pacific Coast Hindustan Association, which became popularly known as the Ghadar Party [1]. The organization aimed to overthrow British rule in India through an armed uprising. While Sohan Singh Bhakna served as the president, Lala Hardayal acted as the general secretary and intellectual soul of the movement, editing the journal 'Ghadar' [1]. Although Lala Lajpat Rai was a contemporary nationalist leader who advised Hardayal to go abroad, he was not a founder of the party [t1]. Other options like C.R. Das and Bipin Chandra Pal were associated with the Swaraj Party and the Extremist phase of the Indian National Congress, respectively, rather than the Ghadar movement [t2][t10].
