Who called off the Civil Disobedience Movement?

Mahatma Gandhi

Explanation

The Civil Disobedience Movement was stopped by Mahatma Gandhi. During the movement, many protests and demonstrations took place across India against British rule. After several national leaders were arrested, people in different areas became angry and some protests turned violent.

In places like Sholapur, groups of workers attacked government buildings such as police stations and railway offices. In response, the British government used strict and harsh measures, arresting thousands of people and attacking peaceful protesters.

Since Gandhi believed strongly in non-violence (Satyagraha), he did not want the movement to continue in a violent direction. Because of this situation, he decided to suspend the movement and later reached an agreement with the British government known as the Gandhi-Irwin Pact on 5 March 1931.
