The Noons left Delhi the same year after Sir Feroz resigned from the Indian Viceroy's cabinet, and moved to Lahore.

During the Civil Disobedience Movement in Punjab, Lady Noon helped organize protests and demonstrations against the British-backed Khizar's cabinet, being arrested three times.

Famous quotes containing the words involvement and/or movement:
“Many people now believe that if fathers are more involved in raising children than they were, children and sons in particular will learn that men can be warm and supportive of others as well as be high achievers. Thus, fathers’ involvement may be beneficial not because it will help support traditional male roles, but because it will help break them down.”
—Joseph H. Pleck (20th century)
“Our movement took a grip on cowardly Marxism and from it extracted the meaning of socialism. It also took from the cowardly middle-class parties their nationalism. Throwing both into the cauldron of our way of life there emerged, as clear as a crystal, the synthesis—German National Socialism.”
—Hermann Goering (1893–1946)
