Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The salt law was broken by Gandhi, not at Sabarmati but at Dandi. So Gandhiji decided to launch the Civil Disobedience movement in the year 1930. He wanted to raise common issues that could unify people in its cause. He considered salt a commodity utilised in each household, be it rich or poor. So he took up the salt issue to launch the movement. He initiated the action with the salt march or the Dandi march. Gandhiji and other protestors began a march from his ashram at Sabarmati to Dandi on Arabian Coast. He marked the beginning of the civil disobedience movement by violating the salt law in Dandi.
The correct statement would be that Gandhi broke the salt law at Dandi.
