Who among the the following was the founder of the Muslim League ?

The All-India Muslim League (AIML) was founded on December 30, 1906, in Dhaka. The primary initiative for creating a political platform to safeguard Muslim interests was taken by Nawab Salimullah of Dhaka [c2][t1]. During the All-India Muslim Education Conference held at Ahsan Manzil Palace, Nawab Salimullah forwarded the formal proposal to establish the party, which was unanimously passed [t1][t8]. While the Aga Khan III was a prominent leader who led the Simla Deputation in October 1906 and was later elected as the League's first permanent president in 1908, the actual 'founding' motion and organizational impetus in Dhaka came from Nawab Salimullah [c1][t2][t5]. Other key figures involved in the initial formation included Nawab Mohsin-ul-Mulk and Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk, the latter of whom presided over the founding session [c2][t3]. Muhammad Ali Jinnah joined the League much later, in 1913, and transformed it into a mass movement in the 1930s [t1][t3].
