Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Pakistan Demand
The session of the Muslim League held at Lahore in 1940 put forward the demand for the formation of Pakistan incorporating the regions having Muslim majority.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah argued that the Muslim League is the sole organization that represented the Muslims in India and hence deserved consideration in to that provided to the Indian National Congress.
The British government encouraged the activities of the Muslim League as a part of their 'divide and rule' policy.
Lord Mountbatten worked out a compromise after lengthy discussions with the leaders of the Indian National Congress and the All India Muslim League. He declared that British India was to be partitioned and a new state of Pakistan was to be created along with a free India.
