ROLE OF MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH IN THE INDIAN ROUND TABLE CONFERENCE (1930-32)

Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, started his political career in 1906 by joining All India National Congress (AINC). He also became the member of All India Muslim League in 1913. As a joint member of both parties Jinnah worked hard to bring both the communities closer to each other. He succeeded when Congress and Muslim League signed Lukhnow Pact in 1916 but difference between both communities developed soon. On the other hand British government desired to introduce new constitutional act for India. At this critical juncture Jinnah suggested the idea of holding round table conference to discuss the constitutional deadlock. He played very active role in the conference which demonstrated his devotion for the rights of his nation and dedication to constitutionalism.
