Abstract: This file contains a collection of letters, press clippings, and reports from December 1939, centering on two main themes. The first is the internal conflict within the Muslim League following a public "outburst" by Abdur Rahman Siddiqi, a member of the League's Working Committee, who critically questioned M.A. Jinnah's leadership and the "Deliverance Day" from Congress rule. The file includes condemnations of Siddiqi from prominent leaders like A.K. Fazlul Huq and the Star of India newspaper, showcasing the fierce defense of Jinnah's authority.

Description: A compilation of primary source materials that reveals the internal dynamics of the All India Muslim League in late 1939. It captures a moment of crisis and consolidation, where public challenge to Jinnah's leadership is swiftly and unanimously condemned, reinforcing his central role. Simultaneously, the file demonstrates the League's concerted effort to build a documented archive of Muslim suffering under Congress rule, combining personal correspondence from compilers like Altaf Husain with press editorials and translated reports of local incidents.
