Congress..

In 1929 at Lahore, the

Congress voted for complete independence as against a dominion status for India and passed a resolution fixing the last Sunday of January 1930 – which happened to be January 26 – as the Complete #IndependenceDay.

On the midnight of December 31, 1929, on the eastern bank of the river Ravi, in the shadow of the Badshahi Masjid, Gurdwara Dera Sahib and the Lahore Fort, Jawaharlal #Nehru raised the “swaraj” flag that was later adopted as the national flag of India. After Partition and #Independence on August 15, 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru saw to it that India’s new #constitution took effect on January 26, 1950, thus ensuring that it would not remain just a date in #history.
