Detailed Solution

The given statement is false. In the countryside, rich and poor peasants actively participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement. Many of the poor peasants were tenants, cultivating lands rented from the landlords. When the Great Depression hit, they found it impossible to pay the rent. They also wanted a reduction in the government revenue demand. But the need for unpaid rent created discord within the Congress party. So, the poorer peasants were organized under radical groups like the socialists and communists and participated in the movement. Hence the correct statement would be, The poorer peasantry participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement.
