Gopal Krishna Gokhale also went to England to meet the Secretary of State for India, John Morley, to put Congress demands for a self-governing system similar to that in the other British colonies.

The viceroy, Lord Minto, and the Secretary of State for India, John Morley, agreed that some reforms were due so as to placate the Moderates as well as the Muslims.
