At the end of 19th century, the political situation was volatile. At that time, the meeting was conducted in English, but Rabindranath was against this system. He, along with his young group, wanted that the medium should be Bengali . He wrote that when in consultation with Jagadindranath they wanted to introduce Bengali as a medium, W.C.Banerjee, the Founder President of the Congress, and other elderly Congress leaders rebuked them.

The plan was aborted due to the earth quake the next day.
