The Lucknow Session 1916 was special in many respects.
1) This session brought the moderates and extremists in Congress on common platform again after nearly a decade, particularly due to efforts of Annie Besant. The Congress President in his address said that “if the congress was buried at Surat, it is reborn in Lucknow in the garden of Wajid Ali Shah".
2) Congress and All India Muslim League signed the historic Lucknow Pact.

The Congress demanded the convening of a Constituent Assembly. It also advocated land reforms to save the peasants from ruthless exploitation, equal rights for men and women and improvement in the condition of workers.
