Lesson 10: Election 1945-46

After the termination of the World War II, elections of the Central Legislature were held in December, 1945 and of the provincial legislatures in 1946. Muslim League's election manifesto comprised two major issues:



i. The Muslim League was the only political party that had a right represent the Indian Muslims.



ii. Pakistan was the sole objective the Muslim League strived to achieve. The results of the elections manifested a complete upset for the Congress so far as the Muslim seats were concerned. All 30 seats reserved for the Muslims in the federal legislature were won by the Muslim League. Till December 1946, 440 out of 495 Muslim members of the provincial assemblies belonged to the Muslim League. This heavy turnout in favour of the Muslim League manifested Muslim voters' confidence in the Muslim League as the sole political party that represented their interests and that they supported whole, heartedly its demand for Pakistan.



 



A Convention of the members of the legislative assemblies elected on Muslim League's ticket was held in Delhi form April 7 to 9, 1946. Addressing the Convention, the Quaid-e- Azam made it clear that the Muslim League stood for two independent Constituent Assemblies one for Pakistan and the other for the rest of India.
