Q. While joining the Muslim League who said that his ‘loyalty to the Muslim League and the Muslim interest would in no way and at no time imply even the shadow of disloyalty to the larger national cause to which his life was dedicated’?
(a) Aga Khan
(b) Mohammad Ali Jinnah
(c) Mohsin-ul-Mulk
(d) Viqar-ul-Mulk
Ans: (b) Mohammad Ali Jinnah
Explanation:
Mohammad Ali Jinnah, also known as Quaid-e-Azam (Great Leader), made this statement upon joining the All India Muslim League. Jinnah was a prominent leader and advocate for Muslim rights in British India. He believed that the Muslim League’s efforts to protect the interests of the Muslim community were not contradictory to the larger national cause of independence from British rule.
Jinnah’s statement reflected his commitment to both the Muslim cause and the broader national cause of Indian independence. He aimed to ensure that the Muslim League’s pursuits were aligned with the larger goal of a united, independent India. However, over time, Jinnah’s stance evolved, leading to his advocacy for a separate nation for Muslims, which eventually led to the creation of Pakistan.
