Chose the incorrect statement, out of the given statements about the Lucknow Pact:
 
(1) It provided a joint political platform for the Moderates, Extremists and the Muslim League
(2) It was signed in December 1916
(3) The Congress accepted separate electorates
(4) After the pact Khilafat movement was merged in the Non-cooperation movement.

4

The correct answer is Option 4 - 4

(1) It provided a joint political platform for the Moderates, Extremists and the Muslim League
(2) It was signed in December 1916
(3) The Congress accepted separate electorates
(4) After the pact Khilafat movement was merged in the Non-cooperation movement (INCORRECT about the Lucknow Pact)

The Lucknow Pact of December 1916 was an understanding between the Congress and the Muslim League whereby the Congress accepted separate electorates. The Pact provided for a joint political platform for the Moderates, Radicals and the Muslim League.

Statement (4) is incorrect as the Khilafat movement was merged into the Non-cooperation movement, which began in 1920 in response to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and other grievances against British rule. The Lucknow Pact was signed much earlier in December 1916.
