Detailed Solution

Gandhi Irwin Pact did not grant independence by Britishers. On January 25, 1931, Gandhi and the rest of the members of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) were unconditionally released from prison. Gandhi was requested by the CWC to begin talks with Viceroy Lord Irwin. Later, in Delhi, a pact known as the Delhi-Pact or Gandhi-Irwin Pact was struck.
