Abstract: This is a telegram sent to M.A. Jinnah from Chittagong, announcing the successful election of a Muslim League candidate (referred to with the phrase "Woman's Kind of, City Rival or Sadsula"). It simultaneously reports the rejection of a candidate from the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind due to the forging of a proposer's signature. The message, beginning with "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to God), conveys a tone of triumph and highlights the political competition between the Muslim League and other Muslim organizations.

Description: A single-page scan of a telegram addressed to M.A. Jinnah in Calcutta. This document provides a snapshot of the on-the-ground political dynamics and electoral battles during the era. It illustrates the Muslim League's active engagement in local elections and its rivalry with other Muslim political groups like the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind. The mention of a candidate's disqualification for forgery also points to the practical challenges and controversies inherent in the electoral process of the time.
