REATION OF MUSLIM LEAGUE :
The anti muslim suggestions of nehru report shattered the Lucknow pact and the Delhi proposal . Different muslim leaders expressed their views and feelings on the nehru report which are mentioned below :

- COMMENTS OF SIR AGHA KHAN :
Sir agha khan said that " Any sensible person cannot think muslim will accept these insulting conditions "

- COMMENTS OF QUAID-E-AZAM :
Quaid-e-azam on 22 dec , 1928 at a failure of calcutta convention and due to stubbornness commented on nehru report " From now the paths of Hindu andmuslims are separate "

In short all muslim leaders expressed great dislike to the nehru report , but it did not have any effect on Hindus .

COMMENTS :
The suggestions of nehru report were based on muslim enimity and were against the constitutional state and rights of muslims . Under the suggestions hindus altogether Forget aabout the Terms of lucknow pact . From nehru report 2 things were clear , firstly that hindus were severe enemies of muslims and donot wanted progess of muslims . Secondly , Hindus were the breaker of Promises and this is why quaid-e-Azam answered nehru report on 25 march 1929 by the 14 Points , where as next year he gave the idea of separate Islamic state which led to the creation of Pakistan .
