In November 193, a Pirpur Committe which was submitted by the Muslim

league had presented its report in which it charged the congress for
interference with the religious rites, suppression of Urdu and propaganda of
Hindi, denial of legitimate representation and suppression in economy of the
Muslims.
Pirpur Committee
Pirpur Committee was established in November 1930 by the All India Muslim League to
prepare a detailed report regarding the atrocities of the Congress Ministries (1937-1939)
formed after the elections under the 1935 Government of India Act in different provinces.
Its report charged the congress for interference with the religious rites, suppression of
Urdu and propaganda of Hindi, denial of legitimate representation and suppression in
economy of the Muslims.

The national poet of Pakistan, Allama Muhammad Iqbal had initially suggested
the creation of a separate homeland for the Muslims of India. But in his work
Tarana-e-Hind, he stated the belief of a strong united India.
In the Third round table conference, a Cambridge student Chaudhary
Rehmat Ali coined the term Pakistan. On 28 January 1933, he published a
pamphlet Now or Never which is called Pakistan Declaration.
This declaration said:
At this solemn hour in the history of India, when British and Indian statesmen
are laying the foundations of a Federal Constitution for that land, we address
this appeal to you, in the name of our common heritage, on behalf of our thirty
million Muslim brethren who live in PAKSTAN by which we mean the five
Northern units of India, Viz: Punjab, North-West Frontier Province (Afghan
Province), Kashmir, Sind and Baluchistan.

This pamphlet appealed the Government that the five northern Units of India
come up as a state independent of the proposed Indian Federation.
But, this was not a movement until Jinnah Took it up.
For Jinnah, the Congress was Gandhi Hindu Congress.
On March 20, 1940, the Muslim League met at Lahore. Here Fazlul Haq, the
Premier of Bengal, who along with Muslim League had formed the
Government Bengal Province, moved a resolution, which was passed by
Muslim League.
The resolution said:
the areas in which Muslims are numerically in majority, as in north-western and
eastern zones of India, should be grouped to constitute the Independent States
in which the Constituent units would be autonomous and sovereign.

In this session Jinnah in his Presidential address gave the famous two nation
theory as follows:

India cannot be assumed today to be Unitarian and homogenous nation,

but on the contrary, there are two nations in the main- the Hindus and the
Muslims.
But the term Pakistan was not used in this session. This resolution was
ambiguous and only a primitive idea which took firm shape only in 1946.
Gandhi rejected the two-nation theory and said:
My whole soul rebels against the idea that Hinduism and Islam represent
two antagonistic cultures and doctrines. To assent to such a doctrine for me
is denial of God.
