lahore
when the congress passed the purna swaraj resolution in its lahore session in december 1929, and called upon all indians to celebrate 26 january 1930 as independence day, hedgewar issued a circular asking all the rss shakhas to observe the occasion through hoisting and worship of the bhagwa dhwaj (saffron flag), rather than the tricolor (which was, by consensus, considered the flag of the indian national movement at that time). 1930 was the only year when the rss celebrated 26 january and it stopped the practice from the next year onwards. however, such celebration became a standard feature of the freedom movement and often came to mean violent confrontation with the official police. c. p. bhishikar states,[in april 1930], mahatma gandhi gave a call for 'satyagraha' against the british government. gandhi himself launched the salt satyagraha undertaking his dandi yatra. dr. hedgewar decided to participate only individually and not let the rss join the freedom movement officially. he sent information everywhere that the sangh will not participate in the satyagraha. however those wishing to participate individually in it were not prohibited.

prasad's first association with indian national congress was during 1906 annual session organised in calcutta, where he participated as a volunteer, while studying in calcutta. formally, he joined the indian national congress in the year 1911, when the annual session was again held in calcutta. during the lucknow session of indian national congress held in 1916, he met mahatma gandhi. during one of the fact-finding missions at champaran, mahatma gandhi asked him to come with his volunteers. he was so greatly moved by the dedication, courage and conviction of mahatma gandhi that as soon as the motion of non-cooperation was passed by indian national congress in 1920, he retired from his lucrative career of lawyer as well as his duties in the university to aid the movement.
