Answer

1, 2 and 3 only

Why?

The correct answer is 'The Assam Accord ended the movement but did not solve the issue of immigration, The Anandpur Sahib Resolution sought greater autonomy for Punjab, and The Mizoram Accord was signed with the MNF to end secessionist violence.' Key Points The Assam Accord: The Assam Accord was signed in 1985 between the Government of India and leaders of the Assam Movement, which was primarily focused on the issue of illegal immigration from Bangladesh. While the accord ended the agitation led by the All Assam Students' Union (AASU), the issue of illegal immigration persisted due to challenges in implementation and enforcement of the provisions. The Anandpur Sahib Resolution: This resolution was adopted in 1973 by the Akali Dal and sought greater autonomy for Punjab within the Indian federation. It emphasized the rights of states, protection of Sikh identity, and cultural and economic autonomy. While it became a source of political tension, it reflected the aspirations of regional autonomy within the constitutional framework of India. The Mizoram Accord: The Mizoram Accord was signed in 1986 between the Government of India and the Mizo National Front (MNF) to end the secessionist insurgency in Mizoram. The accord granted statehood to Mizoram and provided for the rehabilitation of MNF cadres, bringing peace and stability to the region. Additional Information Article 370: Article 370 granted special autonomy to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. However, it was abrogated only in August 2019, not before 2000 as mentioned in the statement. The incorrect timeline makes this statement false, which is why it is not included in the correct answer. All of the above: This option is incorrect because, as noted, the statement about Article 370 being abolished before 2000 is false, making "All of the above" an incorrect choice.
