Which political party formally accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan on 6th June, 1946, which had rejected the demand for a sovereign Pakistan?

The All-India Muslim League formally accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan on June 6, 1946 [2]. Despite the plan's explicit rejection of a sovereign Pakistan, the League's leadership, particularly Muhammad Ali Jinnah, viewed the compulsory grouping of provinces as a strategic step toward their ultimate goal. The League believed that the grouping clause implied the seeds of a future Pakistan. In contrast, the Indian National Congress accepted the long-term plan later, on June 24, 1946, primarily viewing it as a mechanism for establishing a sovereign Constituent Assembly [2]. The Hindu Mahasabha opposed the plan on June 16, 1946. However, following Jawaharlal Nehru's statement on July 10, 1946, which suggested that the Congress could change the grouping scheme, the Muslim League withdrew its acceptance on July 29, 1946, and called for 'Direct Action' [1].
