Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Karachi Session of 1931, presided over by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, adopted a landmark resolution on Fundamental Rights and the National Economic Programme [1][2]. Statement 1 is correct as the resolution's socialist leanings, particularly the state ownership of key industries, faced opposition from prominent industrialists like Ambalal Sarabhai and Kasturbhai Lalbhai, who were wary of the Congress's shift toward economic radicalism. Statement 2 is also correct; the resolution contained a 20-point programme that explicitly demanded civil liberties, such as freedom of speech and assembly, and universal adult suffrage [2]. This session was significant as it was the first time the Congress defined 'Swaraj' in terms of economic freedom for the masses, bridging the gap between political independence and social justice [2][3].
