Cevap

The violent clash between violent protesters and police at Chauri Chaura prompted Mahatma Gandhi to suspend the Non-Cooperation Movement.
On February 4, 1922, at Chauri Chaura in the Gorakhpur district of Uttar Pradesh, a clash took place between a crowd of peasants and local police. When police opened fire, the enraged crowd set fire to the police station, killing 22 policemen. Deeply disturbed by this outbreak of violence, Mahatma Gandhi decided to halt the nationwide Non-Cooperation Movement immediately, as it violated the fundamental core principle of non-violence (Ahimsa).
