Abstract: This document outlines the key terms of the 1937 Sikandar-Jinnah Pact, an agreement that brought Muslim members of Punjab's Unionist Party into the fold of the All-India Muslim League while allowing the Unionist coalition to continue. It established a framework for dual membership and joint electoral strategy.

Description: This file contains the text of the Sikandar-Jinnah Pact, a significant political agreement from October 1937. The pact aimed to integrate the Muslim members of the ruling Unionist Party in Punjab into the All-India Muslim League's organizational structure, thereby expanding the League's base in a crucial province. The terms required Muslim legislators to join the League but allowed the existing Unionist Party coalition to remain intact under its own name for provincial governance. The file includes three pages with identical core text but minor variations in the heading/title. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
