After Mahatma Gandhi's release from prison in January 1931, Congress leaders met at Allahabad to plan the future course of action.

The meeting was held at Swaraj Bhawan, which was the residence of Motilal Nehru, the father of Jawaharlal Nehru. The meeting was attended by all the prominent leaders of the Congress, including Gandhi, Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Rajendra Prasad.

The meeting discussed the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, which had been signed between Gandhi and the Viceroy of India, Lord Irwin, in March 1931. The pact had ended the Civil Disobedience Movement, which was a mass movement against British rule.

The Congress leaders at the Allahabad meeting decided to participate in the Second Round Table Conference, which was scheduled to be held in London in September 1931. The conference was an attempt to reach a settlement between the British and the Indian people on the issue of self-government for India.

The Allahabad meeting was a significant event in the Indian independence movement. It showed that the Congress was united in its demand for self-government, and it prepared the ground for the Second Round Table Conference.
