When the Indian National Congress was formed, Sayyid Ahmad Khan opposed it

The All-India Muslim League which was formed in 1906 vehemently opposed the partition of Bengal and separate electorates

Maulana Barkaullah and Maulana Obeidullah Sindhi were among those who formed a Provisional Government of India in Kabul

Result

Your answer: — · Correct: C

Explanation

Statement (3) is incorrect. The All-India Muslim League (formed in 1906) did not vehemently oppose separate electorates; on the contrary, Muslim leaders including those who initiated the League sought separate representation and later secured separate electorates under reforms, reflecting a pro-British stance rather than opposition to communal measures [3]. Other statements are supported by sources: Hakim Ajmal Khan was an early founder/leader associated with the All-India Muslim League and later with nationalist causes [1]; Sir Syed Ahmad Khan was a loyalist who favored cooperation with the British and was not aligned with the founding outlook of the Congress [2]; Maulana Barkatullah and Maulana Obaidullah Sindhi were involved in the Provisional Government of India established at Kabul in 1915 [4].
