Abstract: This is a letter from Ata Ullah Khan to M.A. Jinnah, written shortly after the Muslim League's call for "Direct Action." The author informs Jinnah that, in accordance with a resolution passed by the All-India Muslim League on 29th July 1946, he has renounced his title of "Khan Bahadur" and notified the Governor of the Punjab. He expresses his unwavering loyalty to Jinnah and the cause of Pakistan, stating his commitment to sacrifice everything for its achievement.

Description: A significant letter demonstrating the tangible impact of the All-India Muslim League's resolutions at an individual level. The voluntary renunciation of a British-conferred honorific title by a supporter acts as a powerful symbol of protest and political solidarity with the League's stance against the British Cabinet Mission Plan. It showcases the personal sacrifices made by individuals in response to the League's call and the deep-seated commitment to the leadership of M.A. Jinnah and the ideal of Pakistan during a critical juncture in 1946.
