سکندر جناح معاہدہ ۱۹۳۷ء

اور پنجاب کی مسلم سیاست پر اُس کے اثرات

Abstract

After Provincial Elections 1937 Congress Muslim mass contact endangered British Raj and solidarity of Muslim minority. So British Government persuaded Sir Sikander Hayat through Sir Henry Craik to strengthen Jinnah so that Congress pressure could be stopped Sikander, Jinnah Agreement (1937) is a strong step taken to weak Congress.
Muslim League got importance equal to Congress and more than Unionist Party after begining of 2nd world War (1939-45) Sikander became helpless in Muslim League Council and its working committee after acceptance of Pakistan Resolution (1940). Sikander was badly, criticised and ousted from Muslim League. He died suddenly on 26th December 1942 before taking any action against it.
Sikander's Deputy Khizar Hayat was a traditional Punjabi landlord than a pratical politician. He agreed to make a new agreement to keep Unionist Colliation but Punjab's tribal wire pulling and League's emotional members did not make it successful. Jinnah tried to convince Khizar to be member of Muslim League Ministry instead of Unionist Ministry but Khizar did not agree so that Quaid expelled Khizar from League on 27th May 1944. Jinnah's stick and carrot policy made him successful than Khizar.
