Which of the following statements is incorrect in reference to Govind…

The correct answer is Option 1 - Govind Ballabh Pant declared that separate electorates would be helpful for the nation and the minorities.

Option 1 as Govind Ballabh Pant declared that separate electorates would be helpful for the nation and the minorities is incorrect as regarding separate electorates Govind Ballabh Pant declared that it was not only harmful to the nation but also to the minorities 

 

Countering the demand for separate electorates, Govind Ballabh Pant declared that it was not only harmful to the nation but also to the minorities and agreed too that every citizen in a free state should be treated in a manner that satisfied “not only his material wants but also his spiritual sense of self-respect”(Option 2), and that the majority community had an obligation to try and understand the problems of minorities, and empathize with their aspirations (Option 3). Yet Pant opposed the idea of separate electorates. It was a suicidal demand, he argued, that would permanently isolate the minorities, make them vulnerable, and deprive them of any effective say within the government.
