Who among the following leaders proposed to adopt Complete Independence as the goal of the Congress in the Ahmedabad session of 1920 ?
Explanation
Hasrat Mohani moved the resolution demanding “complete independence” at the Ahmedabad session of the Congress (often dated in secondary sources to 1921), calling for full freedom rather than dominion status; this proposal is attributed to him in contemporary accounts and later histories. The Congress, however, did not formally adopt Purna Swaraj as its official objective until the Lahore session of 1929, when a resolution declaring complete independence was passed and subsequently celebrated on 26 January each year until independence [1]. Thus, the leader who proposed complete independence at the Ahmedabad session was Hasrat Mohani (Option 2) [1].
