'Kill Jinnah' Shouting entered the hotel lounge. Halfway up the stairs leading to the meeting hall, the League's National Guard stopped him and pushed him back by force. Some people even managed to enter the meeting hall but were immediately evicted.

Rehmat Ali accused Jinnah of treason
When the Muslim League accepted the plan of partition of India in which Pakistan was deprived of half Bengal, half Punjab and the rest of Assam except Sylhet district, the Pakistan National Movement of Rahmat Ali based in Cambridge accused Jinnah of betraying the community. -
'Mr. Jinnah has made a deal with the entire Millat by betraying him completely and has broken him to pieces. His action to accept the British plan has shattered the foundations of all the countries and nations of the millennium.
The ten crore members living in the continent of Diniya (India) have been murdered with the will. …… If this decision is not revoked, it will permanently handicap the life of the Pakistani nation, the existence of milat in the world will wither away and the freedom of the Biradaran-e-Islam all over the world will be at risk. …..we will continue this struggle till the end.
….. We will neither leave the field nor lay down arms. We will never be blamed that when it came to choosing between fighting the biggest war for Millat and the biggest traitor, we too chose the traitor following in the footsteps of the Quizzlings. …… Millat Zindabad. '
