    Why were many Congress leaders reluctant to join Mahatma Gandhi in Non-cooperation Movement?

For a while, there seemed no meeting point between the supporters and the opponents of the movement. (iii) Finally, at the Congress Session at Nagpur in Dec. 1920, a compromise was worked out and the Non-cooperation programme was adopted.
