Some Notes
1. CM from 24 March till 17 April met 472 people in 182 sittings, Cabinet Mission (CM) met azad
at 6th April. Azad supported weak centre with Defense, Foreign
affairs and communication in centre. Kanji reproduced Azad 15th
April statement in favor of weak centre. From 5 to 11th May CM did a
meeting at Shimla with both Congress & ML and at 16th May they
issued complete scheme. On May 26 Mahatma accepted CM in harrijan, ML accepted the
plan in june.
1. Speech of Mian Iftiqaruddin 28 March 1946 page 39 selected speeches and
statements. April,May,June are important. He directly addressed Khizar hayat tiwana,
Lala Bhim Sen Sachar, Dr Gopi Chand Bhargava, Mr Virendra and said due to your
policies in the Punjab we will get
Pakistan and Sikhs will get Khalistan soon. You are not ready to accept
democratic right of the biggest party that have 80 seat means you cannot
respect people. Lala sachar is a secular
nationalist, how many muslims are in his Sun Light of India Insurance company,
I want to know dr gopi .. same in his Lakhshami insurance company? Same
question to Virendra whose father own Partab?
If the leaders commit a mistake
now , they will be held guilty for ever by coming generations.
Patel in April said kanji, that I am hopeful, congress and Britishers will coin solution and if Jinnah refuse, he would have no place. Kanji give many references, dinner of miller, US mission head in New Delhi, Tegh bhdur spru letters etc Congress was very hopeful.
1. April 10 CM plan B…. it was Pakistan scheme it was emergency fall back
position. Atlee said due to plan B India will be confronted in great
danger Pf 237, TOP V11
1. Ambidkar member national defense council, congress out of govt but Ambadikar was in? in his book he talk like a colonist god, giving examples of turkey, czechoslovakia divisions, displacements to justify division of Punjab on the basis of religion.
1.
congress changed
Azad as president and he was replaced by Nehru who at July 10th
rejected CMP. As azad wrote
This was one of the most fiery, provocative and uncalled for statements in his long public life. Azad further said one of those unfortunate events which change the course of history. At 27th July ML had to reject CMP because they failed to fulfill their promise.
1. Kanji met Stuart Gelder, correspondent New Chronicle (London) Everyone was surprise Why Congress rejected CMP.
by rejecting CMP, now plan B was the only option. Slop was ready and it needs only a push, it started from direct action day then bihar riots in August September 1946…
1. 6 December London meeting was the last chance when Wavel, Jinnah, Nehru went
there but it also was a failed attempt. Kanji reached London after a day of
meeting from US, but met Jinnah, and many people. He also met Woodrow wyatt who
had accompanied with CM and he told that British government will give a 12
month plan to leave british india. It
was beginning of the end.
1. Before arrival of Lord Mountbatten, at March 8. 1947 in Delhi Congress and Akalis demanded communal division of the Punjab.
Division of Punjab on communal lines means total surrender to ML narrative.
