Lahore Resolution

In March 1940, the All-India Muslim League adopted the Lahore Resolution at its Lahore session, and A. K. Fazlul Huq of Bengal formally moved the resolution. The text called for Muslim-majority areas in the northwestern and eastern zones of British India to be grouped into 'independent states' with autonomous and sovereign constituent units. Although it did not mention Pakistan by name, it became a major political turning point in constitutional politics.
