The Independence Day Pledge, 26 January 1930.

"We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth. We also believe that if any government deprives a people of these rights and oppresses them, the people have a further right to alter it or to abolish it. The British Government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually. We believe, therefore, that India must sever the British connection and attain Purna Swaraj or complete Independence"

Jawahar Lal Nehru was the President of the Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress in 1929.

Apart from being India's first prime minister, he was the youngest to preside over an Indian National Congress session, which took place in 1929 in Lahore, which is now located in Pakistan.
