Moulana Abulkalam
Azad presided the conference. As per Gandhiji's desire Nehru proposed the
history famed Quit India Movement.
Nehruji said at that
time prestige of India can not be bargained . Struggle eternal struggle. It was
his reply to British empire.
Sardar Vallabhai
Patel seconded the same. Moulana Abulkalam Azad , Kavikuil Sarojini Devi ,
J.P.Kripalini , Pandit Bandh and Sathyamoorthy supported this.
Do or Die :-
Finally Gandhiji addressed . He spoke for 140 minutes. " Freedom
should come immediately . If it is given tonight it should be given before dawn.
From this moment you should think yourself as an independence man , you are not
slaves . Essence of freedom is that i tell you a slogan . Don't forget this and
keep this in your mind. Every breath of yours should be Do or
Die We will free India. We ill die in that effort. We need not live being
a slave ". Then it was night 10'o clock.
