MOTILAL NEHRU

Son succeeds Father as President

The All India Congress Session was held in Calcutta in 1928. Motilal was the President. The -next year the conference was in Lahore. Jawaharlal was elected President. Motilal felt extremely happy that his son had become President at such a young age. He showered flowers on his son in the procession. At this session the Congress declared that the goal of the country was Complete Independence. It gave a call for a non-co-operation movement. The crown of leadership, transferred from the father, adorned the son's head. What a blessing!
