Lahore Resolution

The Lahore Resolution (, Qarardad-e-Lahore; Bengali: লাহোর প্রস্তাব, Lahor Prostab), presented by Sher-e-Bangla A. K. Fazlul Huq, the Prime Minister of Bengal was a formal political statement adopted by the All-India Muslim League on the occasion of its three-day general session in Lahore on March 22–24, 1940. It called for the creation of a group of 'independent states' for Muslims in north-western and eastern zones within British India. The constituent units which were states of the group were to be autonomous and sovereign. The resolution later evolved as a demand for a separate and single Muslim state called Pakistan.
