The moderates welcomed it while the extremists opposed it. This led to a schism in the Congress with moderate leaders forming the “Indian National Liberal Federation” in 1919. The party (INLF) was founded by Surendra Nath Banarjea and some of its prominent leaders were Tej Bahadur Sapru, V. S. Srinivasa Sastri and M. R. Jayakar. KC Neogy, was an Indian politician from West Bengal.
