Solution
The Swaraj Party was founded by CR Das and Motilal Nehru in January 1923 after the Gaya annual conference in December 1922 of the National Congress. There were some Congress leaders who advocated the idea of using violent methods to fight the Britishers. They wanted to pressurize the government for various reforms. Keeping in mind these objectives, this party was formed. They felt that the method of peaceful protest was not adequate enough for freedom. It was also called the Congress-Khilafat party.
