Gandhiji arrived at VT station to attend the historic AICC session that passed the Quit India resolution on August 9, 1942. Yusuf Meheralli, the then Mayor of Mumbai and also the leader of Congress Socialist Party, went to receive Gandhiji at the station. On way to Manibhuvan, Gandhiji said, he was looking for the slogan that would give final call to British. Quit India, responded Meheralli without pausing for the second. Rest is history. Go Back Simon was the slogan coined by Yusuf Meheralli, while protesting against the commission at Apollo Bunder in Mumbai.
