Cevap
All three statements (1, 2, and 3) are correct.
All three statements are historically accurate. The Workers and Peasants Party (WPP) acted as a left-wing faction within the Congress to rally peasants and industrial labor. In March 1929, the colonial government arrested 31 prominent labor activists and communists—including British nationals Philip Spratt and Benjamin Francis Bradley—in the Meerut Conspiracy Case. The trial sparked widespread outrage and attracted international solidarity from leading intellectuals including Albert Einstein and Harold Laski.
