Detailed Solution

Mahatma Gandhi accompanied 72 of his trusted members. This statement is incorrectly related to the Dandi March organised by Mahatma Gandhi. The Dandi March was also known as the Salt March. Salt is an essential food item and is used by every person, rich or poor. To remove the tax on salt and the government monopoly over its production, Mahatma Gandhi sent a letter on January 31st, 1930, to the Viceroy, Irwin, in which he stated eleven demands. The letter was an ultimatum stating that if they didn't fulfil their demands by March 11, Congress would start a civil disobedience campaign. 78 trusted volunteers accompanied Mahatma Gandhi's Salt March, and it started from Sabarmati Ashram to the Gujarati coastal town of Dandi, which was over 240 miles. Mahatma Gandhi and his volunteers reached Dandi on April 6 and violated the law by boiling seawater.
