Abstract: This collection from 1944-45 captures the All India Muslim League's intensive preparations for the pivotal 1945-46 elections. It features correspondence on campaign logistics, requests for Jinnah's tours, internal party discipline regarding A.K. Fazlul Haq, a publisher's copyright dispute over Jinnah's speeches, and administrative coordination with provincial leagues and the Muslim National Guard.

Description: This file provides a granular view of the All India Muslim League's machinery in action during the crucial run-up to the 1945-46 elections, which were a de facto referendum on Pakistan. The correspondence shows Quaid-e-Azam Jinnah as the central node for a vast array of activities: managing his demanding travel schedule across provinces like Punjab and the NWFP, handling sensitive internal matters like the potential reinstatement of A.K. Fazlul Haq, and delegating operational tasks to the Committee of Action and Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
