The Lahore Resolution, also known as the Pakistan Resolution, is a formal political statement adopted by the All-India Muslim League on the occasion of its three-day general session in Lahore on March 22–24, 1940, which called for the creation of 'independent states' for Muslims in north-western and eastern British India. The constituent units of these states are to be autonomous and sovereign. The resolution is presented by A. K. Fazlul Huq, the Premier of Bengal. It is later interpreted as a demand for a separate and single Muslim state, called Pakistan.
