What event caused Mahatma Gandhi to withdraw the non-cooperation movement in February 1922?
The violent attack on policemen during the Chauri Chaura incident.
The Non-Cooperation Movement, launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920, was based on the principle of non-violence.
On 4 February 1922, at Chauri Chaura in the Gorakhpur district of the United Provinces, an angry mob of protesters set fire to a police station, killing several policemen.
Distressed by this outbreak of violence, Gandhi felt the movement had strayed from non-violence and withdrew the Non-Cooperation Movement in February 1922.
Hence, the withdrawal was caused by the violent attack on policemen during the Chauri Chaura incident.
