Solution
On 8 December 1927, the British Government announced the Indian statutory commission to supervise and bring changes in the functioning of the Government in India, (to review the working of the Government of India Act of 1919 and to further suggest reforms in the administration)
- The committee composed of seven members headed by Sir John Simon, widely known as “Simon Commission”.
- No Indian members were there in the committee, Indians felt denial of their right to decide their own constitution. So all sections of India including congress and Muslim league decided to boycott the Simon Commission.
- When the Simon Commission came to India they were greeted with flag marches with slogan “Go back Simon” and protest wherever they went.
