The correct answer is 1,2 and 3. The Leadership (Statement 1 is Correct):After Mahatma Gandhi was arrested on May 4, 1930, for announcing his intention to raid the Dharasana Salt Works, the leadership passed to Abbas Tyabji. Following his arrest, the protest was led by Sarojini Naidu, Imam Saheb (a close associate of Gandhi from his South Africa days), and Manilal Gandhi (Gandhi’s son).Non-Violent Discipline (Statement 2 is Correct):This satyagraha is legendary for the discipline of the protestors. Despite being brutally beaten by police with steel-tipped lathis, not a single satyagrahi raised a hand in defense or retaliation. The American journalist Webb Miller reported this event to the world, stating:"In eighteen years of reporting... I have never witnessed such harrowing scenes as at Dharasana."Timeline (Statement 3 is Correct):The Dandi March took place from March 12 to April 6, 1930. The "raid" on the Dharasana salt deposits occurred in May 1930, specifically to maintain the momentum of the Civil Disobedience Movement after the initial symbolic breaking of the law at Dandi.
