What did the Congress think of the threat of a Japanese attack on India in 1942?
Answer
Gandhiji observed, 'The presence of British in India was an invitation to Japan to invade India. Their withdrawal removes the bait.'

Gandhiji and other leaders were convinced that this situation called for complete independence from the British immediately. Gandhiji said, 'India's safety, and Britain's too, lies in the orderly and timely British withdrawal from India'.
