Abstract: In this letter, M.A. Jinnah writes to Mir Bande Ali, the Premier of Sind, urging him and his colleagues to firmly adhere to a resolution passed by the Sind Provincial Muslim League on 20th December. Jinnah warns that any departure from this official line would be disastrous for the League and the Muslims of Sind, with potential damage to the All-India Muslim cause. He also directly questions Mir Bande Ali about a "mysterious arrangement" regarding his alleged agreement to resign on 15th February, seeking details on the parties and terms involved.

The letter highlights his concerns about maintaining the Muslim League's political line against opposition maneuvers and his vigilance over internal agreements made by League members. It serves as a prime example of Jinnah's centralizing leadership and the challenges of maintaining discipline within the League's provincial units. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
