  2. The rift between the extremists and moderates was
  3. A resolution was passed rejecting the two-nation theory
in that Session Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Explanation

The Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress in 1929 is historically significant because it marked a pivotal moment in the Indian freedom struggle, where the Congress adopted a resolution calling for "Purn Swaraj" or complete independence from British rule. This decision transformed the Congress's stance from seeking constitutional reforms to demanding full sovereignty, thereby galvanizing mass mobilization across the country. However, the rift between extremists and moderates had already been resolved earlier, and the rejection of the two-nation theory became more prominent later, particularly during the Lahore Resolution of 1940. Thus, only the first statement regarding the demand for complete independence is correct in the context of this session.
