Abstract: A collection of press statements and reported speeches by M. A. Jinnah from late 1946 to early 1947. Includes his condemnations of communal violence in Bihar and elsewhere, appeals to Muslim-majority provinces to protect minorities and avoid retaliation, his diplomatic exchange with General Aung San denying any claim to Burmese territory (Maungdaw), and his address in Sind emphasizing educational backwardness and the need for literacy, hard work, and moral integrity.

Description: M. A. Jinnah's public interventions during the tense period following the Cabinet Mission and preceding Partition. The file captures his dual role as a community leader urging calm and protection of minorities amid horrific violence, and as a statesman clarifying international boundaries (Burma) and advocating domestic reform (education in Sind). Provides insight into the League's efforts to manage escalating communal conflict while maintaining political and diplomatic stability. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
