1. 6th June 1946, after much deliberation the AIML voted in favor of the
CMP as Jinnah believed:
a) Muslims will have sufficient autonomy to develop economically
and culturally
b) British would uphold their plan despite Congress dislike for
grouping clause
2. 25th June 1946, Congress accepted CMP with view that provinces
were free to reject grouping
3. British confirmed that grouping of provinces was a necessary clause
of CMP and must be agreed to
4. 10th July 1946, Nehru held press conference stating that Congress
did not accept grouping & was not bound by any agreement to do so
