After the conclusion of the First Round Table Conference, the British government

realized that the cooperation of the Indian National Congress was necessary for further advancement in the making of the Indian constitution. Thus, Lord Irwin, the Viceroy, extended an invitation to Gandhi for talks. Gandhi agreed to end the Civil Disobedience Movement without laying down any preconditions.

The agreement between Gandhi and Irwin was signed on March 5, 1931. Following are the salient points of this agreement:

  1. The Congress would discontinue the Civil Disobedience Movement.
  2. The Congress would participate in the Round Table Conference.
  3. The Government would withdraw all ordinances issued to curb the Congress.
  4. The Government would withdraw all prosecutions relating to offenses not involving violence.
  5. The Government would release all persons undergoing sentences of imprisonment for their activities in the civil disobedience movement.

The pact shows that the British Government was anxious to bring the Congress to the conference table.
