Q11 (IAS/1996) History & Culture › National Movement (1857–1947) › Constitutional plans and missions Answer Verified

Which one of the following is not correct about the Cabinet Mission Plan ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Cabinet Mission Plan (May 1946) proposed a federal scheme with provincial groupings and envisaged an Interim Government at the Centre while creating a Constituent Assembly to frame the Constitution — features explicitly tied to the Mission’s constitutional scheme and the formation of the Constituent Assembly under its proposals [2]. Though the Muslim League later accepted the Mission’s scheme temporarily, the Plan itself aimed to keep India’s constitutional process unified through provincial groupings and a Constituent Assembly; it did not constitute formal acceptance of a separate sovereign Pakistan as part of its core proposals, and partition emerged subsequently as a separate outcome of political developments.
