Answers
Answer:
Viceroy Lord Irwin launched an effort to make the Congress join the Conference. Finally in March, an agreement was signed between the two. It was called the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. The British government agreed to release political prisoners against whom there were no charges of violence and Congress agreed to suspend the Civil Disobedience Movement. Not all national leaders were happy with the pact. However in 1931, at its Karachi session, the National Congress put a seal of approval on the pact and agreed to participate in the Second Round Table Conference.

The Indian National Congress in its Lahore session had declared ''Poorna Swaraj'' or Complete Independence as its ultimate goal. Earlier the Indian demand of Dominion Status was rejected by Lord Irwin. The British rulers were in no mood to relent. Against this background, Gandhiji had written a letter to Viceroy Irwin urging him to implement eleven-point programme for fulfilling people's welfare. On receiving a negative response from the Viceroy, the Civil Disobedience Movement was launched by Gandhiji. It aimed at forcing the government to meet the Indian demands.
