With reference to the Muslim League Resolution of 1940, identify the incorrect statement.
A
It demanded a measure of autonomy for the Muslim-majority areas of the Indian subcontinent.
B
It demanded the partition of the Indian subcontinent and a separate Muslim state called Pakistan.
C
It was ambiguous about the partition of India.
D
It eventually served as the basis for the creation of Pakistan.
Correct Option:
B
Explanation
The Lahore Resolution of 1940 did not explicitly demand a single state named "Pakistan," nor did it use the word Pakistan. It referred to Muslim-majority areas being grouped into "independent states" with autonomous and sovereign constituent units. Its wording was deliberately broad, although it later became the political foundation for the demand that resulted in Pakistan.
