Moslem League Backs British Plan for India Yet Seeks Pakistan
New Delhi June 6 The Moslem League council endorsed the British cabinet mission plan for an independent federated India but reaffirmed the goal of a separate Pakistan as an unalterable objective. The council said Pakistan’s basis lies in compulsory regrouping of six provinces. It instructed its president Jinnah to negotiate with the Viceroy on interim central government participation. Gandhi favors the plan's framework. Indian princes in Bombay signaled willingness to join an independent India framework. The final decision rests with the constitutional assembly drafting a federated India.
