(spectrum, page – 216) The Muslim league had escalated the demand for a separate sovereign state. There was a deadlock with the congress since 1939 resignations.

On June 14, 1945, Lord Wavell came out with a plan which had the following schemes:

A new Executive Council was to be formed at the Centre in which all but the Viceroy and the Commander in Chief will be Indians. This executive council was for the time being till a new permanent constitution could be agreed upon and come to force.

All portfolios except the Defence would be held by the Indian Members. Governor – general could exercise executive veto on advice of Ministers. Neither Muslim Legue nor congress accepted the plan.
