Abstract: This is a from M. Makhar Ud Din, a journalist and Muslim League member, to M.A. Jinnah in 1938. The writer complains about a "Congress minded group" within the Delhi Provincial Muslim League that has launched attacks against him and his newspapers. He encloses clippings from his publications, "Millat" and "Ansari," which contain strong criticisms and resolutions against the League's local leadership, using inflammatory headlines like "Turn out and drive away desperation" and "Shoes of condemnation on the head of the traitor-Muslim Leaguers." The letter appeals to Jinnah to intervene in the deteriorating and faction-ridden affairs of the Delhi League.

Description: This collection consists of two digitized pages of a typed letter from M. Makhar Ud Din to Quaid-e-Azam M.A. Jinnah. The document provides a glimpse into the internal strife and factional politics within the Delhi Provincial Muslim League during the late 1930s. It highlights the role of the press in these conflicts, with a League member using his own newspapers to attack his rivals within the party, who he alleges have a pro-Congress orientation. The letter demonstrates the challenges Jinnah faced in maintaining discipline and unity within the League's provincial units and shows how local disputes were brought to him for resolution as the supreme leader.
