Consider the following statements in respect of the Non-Cooperation Movement : I. The Congress declared the attainment of 'Swaraj' by all legitimate and peaceful means to be its objective. II. It was to be implemented in stages with civil disobedience and non-payment of taxes for the next stage only if 'Swaraj' did not come within a year and the Government resorted to repression. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Both statements about the Non-Cooperation Movement are correct. Statement I: At the Nagpur Session (December 1920), the Congress formally adopted attainment of 'Swaraj' by all peaceful and legitimate means as its objective, replacing the earlier goal of self-government within the British Empire. Statement II: The movement was designed in phases — the first phase involved boycott of titles, government schools, courts, councils, and foreign goods. Civil disobedience including non-payment of taxes was planned for the second stage if Swaraj was not achieved within one year and if government resorted to repression. Hence both statements are correct.
