Explanation
The Azamgarh Proclamation was the 1857 rebels' declaration (issued in the name of the Mughal emperor's grandson), so statement 1 is correct. It was issued from Azamgarh in August 1857 and appealed to Hindus and Muslims to unite against the British. It had nothing to do with the underground movement of the 1942 Quit India movement, so statement 2 is the one that is not correct.
