Question

Why did Congress and the Muslim League reject the proposals of the Cripps Mission?

Answer 1

• The Congress rejected the proposal because it offered only Dominion Status after the war, not immediate independence.
• It also allowed provinces to opt out of the future Indian Union, which threatened national unity.
• The Muslim League opposed the proposal because it did not accept the creation of Pakistan or acknowledge Muslims as a separate nation. Both parties found the offer inadequate and unsatisfactory.
