Which one of the following statements about the Justice Party is not correct?

The Justice Party (South Indian Liberal Federation) was founded in 1916 by leaders like C.N. Mudaliar, T.M. Nair, and P. Tyagaraja to represent non-Brahmin interests [1]. It was primarily patronized by wealthy landowning and urban middle-class non-Brahmins who sought to challenge Brahmin hegemony in government jobs and education. The party actively sought communal representation similar to that granted to Muslims in 1909 [1]. Under the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms and the subsequent Meston Award, they successfully secured 28 reserved seats for non-Brahmins in the Madras Legislative Council. Statement 4 is incorrect because the Justice Party did not support the Congress's call to boycott elections in 1920; instead, they opposed the Non-Cooperation Movement and contested the 1920 elections, winning a majority and forming the first ministry in Madras [1].
