The Simon Commission was sent to India for investigation of further constitutional reforms but it was made of seven British members and no Indian member.In the Madras session in 1927 the National Congress decided to boycott the commission at every stage and in every form.The Muslim League and Hindu Mahasabha supported this decision.On February 3,the day the Commission reached Bombay an All India Hartal was organised.Wherever the Commission went it was greeted with black flag demonstrations under the slogan 'Simon Go Back'.The government used brutal suppression and police attacks to break the popular opposition.
