Abstract: This letter responds to objections raised against a resolution passed by the Working Committee of the All-India Muslim League in June 1940. The author rejects the criticism, clarifies that the issue had already been carefully considered, and emphasizes that the resolution reflects the general sentiment of Muslims across India, including Punjab. The letter underscores confidence in widespread public support while dismissing opposition as motivated by ulterior interests and pressure
