Solution
The correct option is C Both 1 and 2 Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: The Pakistan demand was formalised gradually. On 23 March 1940, the League moved a resolution demanding a measure of autonomy for the Muslim majority areas of the subcontinent. This ambiguous resolution never mentioned partition or Pakistan.
Statement 2 is correct: Khan Abdul Ghaffar khan was a prominent Gandhian leader from the North West frontier province and he led many movements in the region through Khudai Khidmatgars. He was opposed to the idea of partition and was disappointed when Congress accepted the partition of India.
