Re: Bhagat Singh - A hero during struggle against British rule in subcontinent
such hamesha karhwa hota hay. Tell me where did I go wrong by quoting statement about 1940 resolution. Except a useless minara was erected in Lahore to commemorate the occasion, or a military parade, why not a single clause has implemented till today??
The statement
23 March, 1940: Newspapers printed news about Lahore Resolution, demanding division of India
The Lahore resolution was actually adopted on March 24, but officially in Pakistan March 23 is considered the date of its adoption. In 1941, it became part of the Muslim League’s constitution. In 1946, it formed the basis for the decision of Muslim League to struggle for one state for the Muslims.[14] The statement declared:
No constitutional plan would be workable or acceptable to the Muslims unless geographical contiguous units are demarcated into regions which should be so constituted with such territorial readjustments as may be necessary.[15]
Additionally, it stated:
That adequate, effective and mandatory safeguards shall be specifically provided in the constitution for minorities in the units and in the regions for the protection of their religious, cultural, economic, political, administrative and other rights of the minorities.
**Most importantly, to convince smaller provinces such as Sindh to join, it provided a guarantee:
That geographically contiguous units are demarcated into regions which should be constituted, with such territorial readjustments as may be necessary that the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in a majority as in the North Western and Eastern Zones of (British) India should be grouped to constitute ‘independent states’ in which the constituent units should be autonomous and sovereign.
