Abstract: This file contains a telegram sent to M.A. Jinnah from the Indian Muslim League of Penang and Province Wellesley (in British Malaya). The telegram conveys a resolution passed by a meeting of local Indian Muslims, expressing their full support for the decisions made by the All India Muslim League Council at its crucial meeting in Bombay on the 29th of July, 1946. The resolution makes a direct appeal to the British Government to come to an equitable settlement with the All India Muslim League. This telegram highlights the international reach and support for the Muslim League's stance during the critical negotiations following the Cabinet Mission Plan.

Description: This telegram is a significant piece of communication that demonstrates the widespread support for M.A. Jinnah's leadership and the All India Muslim League's policies among the Indian diaspora, specifically in Southeast Asia. Sent in the immediate aftermath of the League's decision to withdraw its acceptance of the Cabinet Mission Plan and call for "Direct Action," this message underscores the solidarity of Muslims abroad with the League's demand for a fair political settlement that would safeguard their interests. It serves as evidence of the global network of support that the Pakistan movement commanded. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
