{'mohammad ali jinnah': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'khan abdul ghaffar khan': [1, 0, 3, 3], 'maulana abul kalam azad': [2, 1, 7, 5], 'red shirts': [0, 0, 4, 0], 'muzaffar ahmed': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'leader': [12, 2, 9, 10], 'society': [5, 0, 8, 11]}

The leader of the society popularly known as `Red Shirts` was Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan.

Option 1: Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was a prominent leader of the Indian National Congress and played a crucial role in the Indian freedom struggle. However, he was not associated with the `Red Shirts` society.

Option 3: Muzaffar Ahmed was a Communist leader from Bengal and played a significant role in the Indian independence movement. However, he was not the leader of the `Red Shirts` society.

Option 4: Mohammad Ali Jinnah was the leader of the All India Muslim League and played a pivotal role in the creation of Pakistan. He was not associated with the `Red Shirts` society.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan. He was a notable political leader in British India, also known as Bacha Khan. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan led the `Red Shirts` movement in the North-West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) of present-day Pakistan. The society aimed to fight for the rights of Pashtuns and promote education, social reform, and nonviolent resistance against British rule.
