The recommendations of the 3ehru 5e%ort wentagainst the interests of the )uslim community. *twas an attem%t to serve +indu %redominance over

)uslims. The 3ehru Committee?s greatest blow

was the re$ection of se%arate electorates.

The )uslims were as"ing for one-thirdre%resentation in the center while 3ehru

Committee gave them only one-fourthre%resentation. *t is true that two demands of)uslims were considered in the 3ehru 5e%ort butboth of them incom%lete.

views of the Committee on the issue of )uslimre%resentation in legislature. Thus the 3ehru5e%ort was nothing else than a Congress documentand thus totally o%%osed by )uslims of the Sub-continent.
