PESHAWAR, 23 March (BelTA - APP) - The historic Lahore Resolution, widely
known as the Pakistan Resolution, was passed on March 23, 1940, by the
All-India Muslim League in Lahore, laying the foundation for the
creation of a separate homeland for Muslims of the subcontinent.
The resolution stands as a defining moment in South Asian history, demanding independent and sovereign state in Muslim-majority regions of British India. It is regarded as a watershed development that reshaped the political destiny of millions of Muslims.
Professor Dr. AZ Hilali, former Chairman of the Political Science Department at University of Peshawar, described the resolution as a historic document that marked a turning point in British Indian politics.
Talking to APP, he said the resolution emerged from deep-rooted socio-economic inequalities, class disparities, and political injustices faced by Muslims under colonial rule.
Dr Hilali said the resolution also marked a significant transformation in Muslim political consciousness, redefining identity and uniting diverse communities under a shared goal of independence.
He said it provided a clear and practical framework for a separate Muslim state under the dynamic leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Today, the Pakistan Resolution is remembered as a cornerstone of the country’s ideological foundation, one that strengthened the political voice of Muslims and set the stage for the emergence of Pakistan as an independent state.
