Question

Which of the following was the condition put forth by the Muslim League for cooperating with Britain in the Second World War?

• A. Immediate independence to India.
• B. No constitutional advances without the consent of Muslim League.
• C. Withdrawal of Britain from the War.
• D. Control of existing British colonies.

Answer 1

The correct option is B No constitutional advances without the consent of Muslim League.

The Congress drew up a resolution and declared that the country was prepared to cooperate with the British, upon the immediate declaration of complete independence and the establishment of a national government in India. On the other hand, the Muslim League passed a resolution promising to support the British in the war efforts, on the condition that no constitutional advances be made without consulting the Muslim League.
