On March 23, 1940, a resolution was adopted at Minto Park (now Iqbal Park) in Lahore, demanding the establishment of an autonomous Muslim state in northern and northwestern British India, where Muslims predominated.
This resolution is also known as the Lahore Declaration of 1940. This occurrence resulted from various Muslim leaders working relentlessly to secure a separate state for Muslims in India.
Maulvi A.K. Fazlul Huq, under the leadership of the All-India Muslim League, presented the resolution during the League’s annual assembly. Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, seconded the proposal.
This event was a crucial turning point in the nation’s quest for independence. All India Muslim League was adamant about establishing a separate state for Muslims to defend the Muslim community’s interests.
It advocated creating an independent state for Muslims living in India, where they could practice their religious beliefs, customs, and traditions.
Our forefathers ultimately established Pakistan after a protracted and grueling fight on 14 August 1947.
