Detailed Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: Mahatma Gandhi started the Dandi March from Sabarmati Ashram on March 12, 1930, with 78 chosen followers and broke the salt law upon reaching Dandi on April 6, 1930, which marked the formal beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement. Statement 2 is correct: Under the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (also known as the Delhi Pact) mediated between Viceroy Lord Irwin and Mahatma Gandhi on March 5, 1931, the government agreed to release all political prisoners except those accused of violence and to permit the manufacturing of salt for personal and domestic use in coastal areas. Statement 3 is incorrect: Following the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, the Karachi Session of the Congress was held in March 1931 and was presided over by Vallabhbhai Patel, not Mahatma Gandhi. Furthermore, Gandhi attended the 'Second' Round Table Conference in 1931, not the First (the Congress boycotted the First Round Table Conference). Additionally, Gandhi strongly opposed the demand for a separate electorate for Dalits in Ramsay MacDonald's Communal Award and undertook a fast unto death in Yerwada Jail against it.
