Answer 2

Answer:

Gandhiji withdrew the Non-Cooperation Movement in February 1922 because of the following

reasons.

 Gandhiji felt the movement was turning violent at many places and the satyagrahis needed to

be properly trained before they would be ready for the mass struggle.

 Within the Congress some leaders were by now tired of mass struggles and wanted to

participate in the elections to the provincial councils set up after by the Government of India

Act 1919.

 The final blow however came after the violent incident in Chauri Chaura in 1922 when a

violent mob burnt a police station killing many policemen. Immediately after that, Gandhiji

called off the Non-Cooperation Movement.
