Question

The period between 1920 to 1947 was marked with major events and reforms that finally led to us to our independence. In this context, answer the following questions:

How did the Congress and the Muslim League respond to the Cabinet Mission Plan?

Answer 1

The Congress accepted the proposals of the Cabinet Mission Plan with some reservations. It accepted the part of the Plan which declared the Constituent making the body as sovereign. It, however, wanted the grouping of Provinces as optional and not compulsory.

The Muslim League accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan because it grouped the Muslim majority provinces together which the League felt was a means to form a separate state of Pakistan.
