Khizr Hayat Tiwana was the last Prime Minister of the Punjab province in British India, serving from 1942 to 1947. He belonged to the influential Tiwana family and was initially opposed to the Pakistan movement led by the Muslim League. However, as support for the League and the idea of a separate Muslim state grew, he was forced to resign in 1947 to make way for the League to form a government.

majority province Sind and Bengal.

Punjab.
2) Second, that the Muslim League contested the election

party, Akali Dil and Congress opposed the division of
Hind, so these three parties were not ready to units
with Muslim League.

and it did not considered Muslim League as the
representative of the Indian Muslims.
