- Congress leaders commemorate the centenary of Mahatma Gandhi’s presidency of the historic 1924 Congress session.
- The 1924 session at Belgaum holds a unique place in India’s freedom struggle.
- It was the only time Mahatma Gandhi served as Congress president.
- The session came in the aftermath of the 1922 Chauri Chaura incident, which had led Gandhi to suspend the Non-Cooperation Movement.
- It was causing a split in the party between the Swarajists, led by Motilal Nehru and C.R. Das, and the no-changers who supported Gandhi’s vision of nonviolent resistance.
- During this session, Gandhi presented his ideas on non-violence, communal harmony, and "swaraj".
