ABSTRACT
The Constituent Assembly should be formed for the whole of India, the Muslim League too should be part of it. Constituent Assembly will consider any protection the Muslims wanted, and there was no need to form a separate nation; this was Gandhiji's stand. Around this time, Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, one of the prominent leaders of freedom movements and a colleague of Gandhiji, published a plan for consideration by Jinnah and Muslim League. Rajagopalachari had discussed the plan with Gandhiji and he had given word that if Rajaji succeeded to get approval of Jinnah, Gandhiji too would consent to it. Preparations for functioning of the Constituent Assembly began on levels of both the Congress Party and the government. Congress had formed an experts committee for the groundwork, consisting of Jawaharlal Nehru, N. Gopalaswami Ayyangar, Prof K. T. Shah, Dhananjayrao Gadgil, K. Santhanam, Barrister Asaf Ali and Prof Humayun Kabir.
