Why did the condition concerning the release of political prisoners in the Gandhi-Irwin Pact become controversial?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Prisoners linked with violence did not receive full relief
The Gandhi-Irwin Pact provided for the release of political prisoners who had not been convicted of violence, but it did not give the same relief to revolutionaries or prisoners associated with violent acts. This limitation disappointed many nationalists and made the provision controversial. Hence option A is correct; the other choices either exaggerate the concession or contradict the historical issue.
