Which of the following were the objections made by the Congress that led to the failure of the Cripps Mission?

1. Dominion status offer.

2. Representation by nominees and not by election.

3. No plan for immediate transfer of power and responsibility.

4. Creation of constituent assembly and the accession procedure of provinces to the union.

Select the correct answer from the codes given below.

Solution

· The Cripps mission proposals failed to satisfy Indian Nationalists and turned down by the Congress on grounds of: The offer of dominion status instead of a provision for complete independence. Hence, statement 1 is correct. Representation of states by nominees and not by elected representatives. Hence, statement 2 is correct. Absence of any plan for immediate transfer of power and absence of any real share in defence, the governor general’s supremacy had been retained, and the demand for Governor-General being only the constitutional head had not been accepted. Hence, statement 3 is correct. The Muslim leaugue criticized the idea of a single Indian union and it opposed the grounds of machinery for the creation of a constituent assembly and the procedure to decide on the accession of provinces to the Union. Hence statement 4 is incorrect.
