The Resolution was solely a total of five paragraphs, each paragraph was a single sentence long. Despite it was clumsily phrased yet conveyed the message effectively.
In this meeting, it was settled that it is the viewed perspective on this meeting of the All-India Muslim League that no sacred arrangement would be serviceable in this country or satisfactory to Muslims except if it is planned on the accompanying essential rule, in particular, that geologically bordering units are outlined into locales which ought to be so established, with such regional corrections as might be vital, that the zones in which the Muslims are mathematically in a lion’s share, as in the North-Western and Eastern Zones of India, ought to be gathered to comprise ‘Free States’ in which the constituent units will be self-sufficient and sovereign.
