Explanation:

Explanation:
? The idea was to reconstruct the Governor-General’s Executive Council pending the preparation of a new Constitution. For this purpose, a conference was convened by the
Viceroy, Lord Wavell, at Shimla in June, 1945.
? The main proposals of the Wavell Plan were as follows:
o With the exception of the Governor-General and the Commander-in-Chief, all members of the Executive Council were to be Indians.
o Caste Hindus and Muslims were to have equal representation.
o The reconstituted Council was to function as an Interim Government, within the framework of the 1935 Act (i.e., not responsible to the Central Assembly).
o The Governor-General was to exercise his veto on the advice of the ministers.
o Representatives of different parties were to submit a joint list to the Viceroy for nominations to the Executive Council. If a joint list was not possible, then separate lists
were to be submitted. o Possibilities were to be kept open for negotiations on a new Constitution, once the War was finally won.
