Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2

Explanation Statement 1 is correct: Samitis such as the Swadesh Bandhab Samiti of Ashwini Kumar Dutta (in Barisal) emerged as a very popular and powerful means of mass mobilisation. During the Surat session, Ashwini Kumar Dutta played a significant role in attempting to bridge the gap between the moderates and extremists within the Indian National Congress.
Statement 2 is not correct: Pramathanath Mitra was a Bengali Indian barrister and Indian nationalist who was among the earliest founding members of the Indian revolutionary organisation, Anushilan Samiti. He is remembered as one of the pioneers of the militant movements of 20th-century India which startled the structure of British-Indian administration. In Tamil Nadu, V.O. Chidambaram Pillai, Subramania Siva, and some lawyers formed the Swadeshi Sangam which inspired the local masses.
