He was imprisoned twice from 1920 to 1922 for his active role in the Non-cooperation Movement. He was the baton-charged at Lucknow and also played an essential role in opposing the Simon commission. In the year, 1928, Jawaharlal Nehru formed the “Independence of India League” and was appointed as its General Secretary.
Nehru became the President of the Lahore session of the Indian National Congress in 1929 and passed the resolution of Purna Swaraj. Again from the period of 1930 to 1935, Jawaharlal was imprisoned numerous times for his role in Salt Satyagraha, or the Dandi March, and other similar movements.
