Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Indian National Congress passed the landmark resolution on Fundamental Rights and the National Economic Programme during its Karachi Session in March 1931 [1]. Presided over by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, this session was significant as it defined what 'Swaraj' would mean for the masses, emphasizing that political freedom must include economic freedom for the starving millions [2]. The Fundamental Rights resolution guaranteed civil liberties such as free speech, press, and assembly, while the National Economic Programme advocated for substantial reductions in rent, relief from agricultural indebtedness, and state control of key industries [2]. This session also endorsed the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (Delhi Pact) and reiterated the goal of Purna Swaraj [1]. The Karachi Resolution served as a foundational blueprint for the future Constitution of India, influencing its socio-economic and rights-based framework.
