The Gandhi-Irwin Pact was a political agreement signed between Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin, the Viceroy of India, which marked the end of the Civil Disobedience Movement and paved the way for INC participation in the Second Round Table Conference. The execution of Bhagat Singh and his comrades just weeks after the pact sparked widespread outrage. The Karachi session of the INC endorsed the pact and adopted resolutions on Fundamental Rights and National Economic Programme.
