Answer:
First Non - Cooperation movement was launched in 1920 and was called off in 1922 at Chauri Chaura because the movement took a violent phase. Also this movement was also referred as ' Non - Cooperation Khilafat Movement ' .
By this time some of the Congress leaders started opposing the idea of Non - Cooperation Movement.
Some of the leaders of Congress opposed the idea of Non - Cooperation Movement due to the following ways :
a) They did not want to boycott the council elections of November 1920.
b) Within the Congress, some leaders were by now tired of mass struggles and wanted to participate in elections to the provincial council that had been set up by the Government of India Act of 1919.
c) They felt that it was important to oppose British policies within the councils, argue for reform and also demonstrate that these councils were not truly democratic.
d) They thought that new movement that was to be launched would become violent like the previous one.
e) They wanted to oppose government by participating in the legislative council.
So in 1919 , C. R. Das and Motilal Nehru formed the Swaraj Party within the Congress to argue for a return to council politics.
