Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah represented Muslim League and Congress nominated Maulana Abul Kalam Azad as its representative. The objective of sending Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was to give a message to the world that Congress also represented the Muslims.

The Congress was not in favour of five nominations from Muslims and wished to nominate one Muslim minister. Thereupon, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah demanded general elections in the country to decide as to who represented the Muslims. Due to the negative attitude of Congress, the conference was unsuccessful. But the parties other than Congress supported the demand of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah for general elections. On this occasion, most of the Muslim religious leaders supported the Muslim League. Their support strengthened the Muslim league and made it a very popular representative body of the Muslims in India.
