Gandhi failed to secure good result in Round Table Conference

Gandhi did not achieve success abroad in ways that were satisfactory to the Congress. On Dec 5 , he left Britain and enroute home through Europe he stopped to see Romain Rolland and also called on Mussolini.On Dec 28, he landed in Bombay and Subhas Bose was among the Congress leaders there to greet him. In a speech to the Commonwealth of India League immediately after returning . Gandhi again criticized the Bengal ordinance  and the punishment of a large population because of a few persons ran amuck On Dec 29, he discussed the Bengal and
and National situation with Bose, who had been saying all fall that the Congress needed a plan of action if no results were forth coming from Gandhi's london visit.
The Congress Working Committee decided that civil disobedience would have to be resumed if the Govt of India did not make any any positive conciliatory moves. A small news item in Liberty on january 3 indicated the direction in which the Govt. of India had decided to move.
Mr. Subhas chandra Bose who left for Calcutta this afternoon was arrested in the train at Kalyan 30 miles from Bombay , under regulation III of 1818.He was taken by the same train to an unknown destination.
On January 4 , with the Congress moving to Civil disobedience the Government arrested Gandhi, Patel, Prasad, Nehru, and many other Congressmen in Bombay, Calcutta and Delhi. Four further ordinances were promulgated to facilitate the repression and all Congress organizations were declred unlawful.
Although civil disobedience was resumed in a few isolated areas such as the eastern part of Midnapore in Bengal The government effectively deprived the Congress of many of its leaders for some time to come.On February 6 , 1932, another small item appeared in Liberty concerning its managing director ,
Sjt. Sarat Chandra Bose, Bar-at-law and alderman of Calcutta Corporation, was arrested on Thursday night at Jharia, where he went on a professional call, under regulation III of 1818,, and taken by Bombay mail in Seoni subjail, where Sjt.
