Abstract: This file contains an incomplete two-page letter, likely addressed to M.A. Jinnah. The writer expresses deep concern over "very disconcerting news items" appearing in the press, which are described as anti-League and claim that Jinnah has "accorded recognition" to a group referred to as the "Radicals." The author states they refuse to believe the reports but urges Jinnah to issue a clarifying public statement at the earliest opportunity to stop the rumors from gaining further traction and assuming "alarming dimensions."

Description: This primary source fragment is a letter from a concerned supporter (likely Mohamed Shafi) to M.A. Jinnah, highlighting the impact of hostile press and rumors on the Muslim League's public perception. It reflects the constant political warfare in the media during the League's ascendancy, where false reports could quickly damage morale and public trust. The writer's plea for a swift, authoritative statement from Jinnah underscores the latter's central role as the definitive source of truth and guidance for the party's followers. This document illustrates the challenges of managing public communication and countering disinformation in a highly charged political environment. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
