Jinnah–condemnation of the provision of reserving separate seats for the Muslims


"However despite the protest by the Congress, the provision for separate electorate for the Muslims was made by the British in the Indian Councils' Act of 1909. In the twenty­ fifth session of the Congress at Allahabad in 1910, Jinnah moved a resolution condernning the provision of reserving separate seats for the Muslims, especially in its application to municipalities, district boards and other local bodies. He said it would sow the seed of division between the Hindus and the Muslims and keep them politically apart."
