As stated by corresponding reports, “Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said that on this day, 80 years ago the Indian National Congress under the leadership and inspiration of Mahatma Gandhi launched the Quit India Movement that won the country freedom five years later.”

The quit India movement played a pivotal role in the elimination of British raj in India by initiating the demand of ‘Quit India’ from the British government. Quit India Movement, also known as the August Movement was a movement launched at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee by Mohandas Gandhi on August 8, 1942, during World War 11 demanding an end to British rule in India.
