ABSTRACT

Trouble had been brewing between the Unionist Party and the Muslim League ever since the Delhi Council Session of March 1943. It had put Khizr on probabation to establish a vigorous Muslim League Assembly Party even if it jeopardised the running of his Ministry. The storm finally broke in April 1944. Jinnah and Khizr thundered at each other through the columns of the press following the collapse of their negotiations. The conflict became so intense that the Punjab Premier was unprecedently expelled from the All-India Muslim League.
