The proposal for a separate state for Muslims living in the Indian subcontinent is called the Lahore proposal. The Lahore resolution is a demand for a separate state for Muslims living in the Indian subcontinent. The proposal was raised by Sher-e-Bangla AK Fazlul Huq at a conference of the Muslim League in Lahore, Pakistan on 23 March 1940. Again, this is sometimes referred to as the Pakistan proposal. History: On March 23, 1940, the All India Muslim League approved the historic Lahore resolution, demanding an independent Muslim state in the Indian subcontinent. At the conference of All India Muslim League held in Lahore, present day Pakistan, Sher-e-Bangla AK Fazlul Huq proposed the historic Lahore. BACKGROUND: Muhammad Ali Jinnah convened the All India Muslim League General Assembly in Lahore in 1940 to discuss the situation arising out of the Indian government's involvement in the war without the views of Indian leaders and the beginning of World War II . Called the session. Husain Shaheed Suhrawardy left for Lahore on 19 March 1940 with a small contingent of Muslim League workers. AK Fazlul Haque led the Bengal Muslim League party to attend the session and they arrived in Lahore on 22 March. The Bengal delegation was greeted with great applause. In his more than two-hour speech, Jinnah criticized the Congress and nationalist Muslims and outlined the two-nation theory and the rationale behind Muslims' claim to a separate homeland. His arguments win the hearts of ordinary Muslims. Punjab Chief Minister Sikandar Hayat Khan prepared a preliminary draft of the Lahore resolution , which was submitted to the Subject Committee of the All India Muslim League for discussion and revision. After the subject committee made a radical amendment to the proposal, Fazlul Haque raised it in the general session on 23 March and it was supported by Chowdhury Khalequzzaman and other Muslim leaders.
