Confidential Your July Statement. The Congress De resolution definitely means by National Government as composite Cabinet not limited to any single Party. But is the position in League that he cannot agree to any provisional arrangement based on the two-nation scheme? If so, please clarify by wire.

"Your telegram cannot reciprocate confidence. I refuse to discuss with you, by correspondence or otherwise, as you have completely forfeited the confidence of Muslim India. Can't you realize you are made a Muslim show-boy? Congress president to give it color that it is national and deceive foreign countries. You represent neither Muslims nor Hindus. The Congress is a Hindu Body. If you have self-respect resign at once. You have done your worst against the League so far. You know you have hopelessly tailed. Give it up
