9. Why did Gandhiji withdraw the Non Cooperation Movement?

Gandhiji realised that people were losing interest in the moment

Gandhiji felt that the movement was turning violent in many places

Some Congress leaders wanted to participate in elections to Provincial Councils

Some Congress leaders wanted more radical mass agitations

​

Answer 1

Gandhiji decided to withdraw the Non-Cooperation movement because the main objective of ahimsa i.e. non-violence was not being followed by the satyagrahis. He felt the need of training the satyagrahis before launching any mass struggle against the British. The movement often turned violent in many places.
