The Congress passed a resolution for the renewal of the Civil Disobedience Movement. Government resorted to repression, issued Ordinances and assumed special powers. The Congress was declared illegal. Congress leaders were arrested and their properties were seized. Communalism was fanned. Gradually the Civil Disobedience Movement lost its force. So, Gandhiji withdrew the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1934.
