📚Pant Resolution

Topic : Modern history

Pant Resolution (1939) :-

(Topic : Modern history)

* At the Haripura session of INC (1938), the unanimous election of Subhas Chandra Bose as President of the Congress strengthened the radical trend in the Congress.

* The new President was a pronounced left-winger and different from Gandhian ideology.

* Next year , during the Tripuri session of INC (1938), there was crises within the Congress. 12 members of the working Committee resigned , leaving only Nehru, Sarat Bose & Subhas Chandra Bose in the Working Committee. Jawaharlal Nehru tried to preserve the unity of the party.

* It was in this tense atmosphere that the Tripuri Congress met on 8-12 March 1939.

* On 12 March, a resolution was moved by Govind Ballabh Pant ("Pant Resolution") which reiterated its faith in Gandhian leadership and asked Bose to constitute the new Working Committee in accordance with the wishes of Gandhiji.

* The Pant Resolution was passed by 218 and 133 votes in the Subjects Committee and by an overwhelmingly majority in the open session.

* According to Subhas, the Pant Resolution was charged with the spirit of pettiness & vindictiveness.

* The Pant Resolution indeed was a vote of censure against the President which eventually led to Bose's resignation from Presidentship on 29 April 1939 at the Calcutta session of AICC.

* The Congress Socialist Party (CSP) abstained from voting on the Pant Resolution.

* Bose complained that if the CSP had voted against the Pant Resolution, it would have been certainly defeated. He called it a big "betray of CSP".

* The Tripuri Congress was a veritable Munich of the Indian left in pre - independent India.

* The "Pant Resolution" brought back the old guards of the Congress Working Committee and soon persecution & expulsion of radical elements followed.
