Explanation

Both statements are correct. The Gandhi-Irwin Pact (1931) had two key provisions: the Congress agreed to suspend the Civil Disobedience Movement (Statement 1), and the Government promised to release all political prisoners not convicted for violence (Statement 2). However, the pact was controversial as many felt it did not concede the demand for complete independence.
