Abstract: This collection centers on the political stance and eventual resignation of Maulana Hasrat Mohani from the Muslim League in 1939-1940. It includes complaints from Hafiz Mohamed Siddio about media bias against the League in both the Associated Press and All India Radio. The documents show Mohani's circular urging support for the 'Day of Deliverance' and his subsequent telegrams to Jinnah expressing strong ideological positions. Jinnah's responses demonstrate his efforts at reconciliation, assuring Mohani of his commitment to the Lahore Resolution ("a matter of life and death for Muslim India") and inviting him to Bombay for discussions to resolve their differences.

Description: This is a collection pages of correspondence and telegrams highlighting internal debates within the Muslim League during 1939-1940. The documents reveal concerns about media representation of the League, the ideological steadfastness of Maulana Hasrat Mohani, and Quaid-e-Azam M.A. Jinnah's diplomatic approach to managing dissent within the party. The collection shows Mohani's resignation threat and Jinnah's careful response, combining firm commitment to the Pakistan ideal with personal outreach. The telegrams and letters provide insight into the complex political negotiations and media challenges facing the Muslim League at a crucial period in the Pakistan Movement.
