A bill prepared on the basis of the White Paper was introduced in the Prliament on 19 Dec 1934, and inspite of strenuous opposition of the die-hard section of the conservatives led by Churchill, was passed on 2Aug 1935.
Every section of public opinion in India expressed dissatisfaction with the Govt. of India Act 1935,
The Working Committee and All India Congress Committee met in Patna on 18-20 may, 1934 and as recommended by Gandhi, suspended the Civil Disobedience Movement and accepted the entry into the Legislature as a part of the Programme of the Congress . The Working Committee , in accordance with the resolutions of the AICC, called upon all the Congressmen to give up Civil disobedience and the movement was officially terminated on May, 20
The Govt being satisfied lifted the ban on the Congress organisation except in Bengal and NWFP and announced a general policy of expediting the release of Civil disobedience prisoners.
This was the real tragedy of the Congress under the leadership of Gandhiji - a leadership which was not boldly disowned till it was too .late to undo he mischief .
Shortly after the meeting of the Working Committee at Wardha on 15th Sept 1934, Gandhi had decided to tetire from the Congress and made no secret of it.
