Previous Year Question
Who among the following opposed Mahatma Gandhi's association with the Khilafat Movement?
Correct Answer: C
Detailed Solution
Mohammad Ali Jinnah opposed Gandhi's political strategy
of linking the Khilafat issue with the wider programme of mass Non-Cooperation.
An official historical account published by the Government of India's Publications Division records that Gandhi offered to lead on the Khilafat issue provided the movement accepted his method, and that Khilafat leaders endorsed his non-violent Non-Cooperation programme.
Jinnah, in contrast, remained committed to constitutional political methods and opposed Gandhi's programme of mass Non-Cooperation. Historical accounts of the 1920 movement record Jinnah among its opponents.
Jinnah opposed Gandhi's strategy of combining the Khilafat cause with mass Non-Cooperation politics.
