    Solution

    The 1929 Lahore session marked a pivotal point with Nehru presiding and the declaration for complete independence being made. January 26, 1930, was designated as Purna Swaraj Day. The 'Do or Die' call was given by Gandhi much later, during the Quit India Movement in 1942, making statement IV incorrect.
