As soon as the All-India Muslim League, at its Lahore Session in March 1940, adopted the resolution there was a hysterical outburst in Congress and other Hindu circles. Without pausing to consider the merits of the proposal they began to decry and oppose it tooth and nail. The Quaid in a statement appealed to the better mind of the Hindu and other communities to give serious consideration to the Pakistan Resolution as the only way of achieving India�s freedom at an early date. He said:
�I still hope at any rate the better mind of the Hindus will give earnest and serious consideration to our proposals as there lies the achievement of India�s freedom at the earliest possible period. This freedom we shall be able to retain peacefully both internally and externally.�
