2) Temporary merger of Muslim League and Congress occurred
3) A Muslim person was elected as President of Congress
4) None of the above
The correct answer is None of the above .
The correct option is 4) None of the above.
The Lucknow session of the Indian National Congress was held in December 1916, and it was a significant event in the history of the Indian independence movement. The Congress had split into two factions in 1907, the Moderates and the Extremists. The Lucknow session was an attempt to reunite the two factions and present a united front against British rule.
During the session, the Congress and the All India Muslim League agreed to work together in the Indian independence movement. The Congress accepted the Muslim League’s demand for separate electorates for Muslims, but it was a temporary agreement meant to last only until the end of World War I.
The Lucknow Pact, as the agreement between the Congress and the Muslim League was known, also provided for the representation of Muslims in the Indian Legislative Council and the Provincial Legislative Councils in proportion to their population.
However, the Lucknow session did not result in the temporary merger of the Congress and the Muslim League or the election of a Muslim person as the President of Congress. In fact, the President of the Congress session was Ambika Charan Majumdar, a Hindu leader.
In conclusion, the implication taken in the Lucknow session of Congress in 1916 was the agreement between the Congress and the Muslim League to work together in the Indian independence movement, accept the Muslim League’s demand for separate electorates for Muslims, and provide for Muslim representation in legislative councils. The other options presented in the question are incorrect.
