Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. Lala Lajpat Rai presided over a special Congress session held in Calcutta in September 1920. The place of this particular gathering was Calcutta. It convened to endorse the resolution of the Non-Cooperation Movement. Mahatma Gandhi predicted that if the campaign of non-cooperation is successful, Swaraj may be attained in a year. However, this prediction was ultimately untrue. The 1920 Congress was presided over by C. Vijayaraghavachariar and was held at Nagpur. This session was notable for two things: the reconstitution of the working committees of the Congress based on linguistic differences and the expulsion of MA Jinnah from the Indian National Congress.
The correct statement would be A special session was held in Calcutta to launch a noncooperation movement.
