Who among the following were official congress negotiators with Cripps Mission?
Explanation
The official Congress negotiators with the Cripps Mission were Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Contemporary sources identify Nehru and Azad as the designated Congress representatives who took part in talks with Sir Stafford Cripps during the mission in March 1942. The Cripps Mission itself, led by Stafford Cripps, arrived in India in March 1942 to negotiate constitutional proposals with Indian political leaders on behalf of the British government [1]. The engagement of Nehru and Azad as the Congress negotiating team formed a central part of those discussions, which nevertheless failed to produce an agreement acceptable to Congress leadership [1].
