• The All-Parties Conference, in February 1928, included the Congress representatives, All-India Liberal Federation, All India Muslim League, Sikh Central League, Hindu Mahasabha and others.
• This Conference was presided over by Dr. M.A. Ansari. It was agreed that in framing the Constitution of India, the principle of full Dominion responsible self-government should be kept in mind. After two subsequent meetings of All-Parties, in Bombay and in Lucknow, the Constitution was rati fi ed. It asked for full Dominion Status and had provisions for having responsible governments at Centre as well as in the Provinces.  The Conference, on 19 May 1928, constituted a committee to draft the Constitution.
• Some of the notable members of this Committee were: Motilal Nehru (Chairman), Sir Ali Imam, Tej Bahadur Sapru and Subash Chandra Bose. M.R. Jayakar and Annie Besant joined the Committee later. Jawaharlal Nehru was appointed the secretary to the Committee. Reactions to Nehru Report  The Nehru Report received a mixed response from Indians. The Hindustan Times, in an editorial, argued that the report marked ‘… the fi nal death of communal egotism and the birth of a national consciousness in the country…’.
• The editorial also stated that Lord Birkenhead’s challenge was met and that ‘…we have drawn the Magna Carta of our liberty’.  However, the political consensus around the report broke down: the Muslim League, which was part of the All-Parties Conference, rejected the Report primarily because of the absence of separate electorates for Muslims.
• The dropping of the separate electorates was a reversal of the agreement between the Congress and the League that was encoded in the Congress-League Pact, 1916 (the Lucknow Pact). The Hindu Mahasabha opposed the formation of the new provinces and the communal representation in Bengal and Punjab.
• They pressed for a strictly unitary system.  Not only were the Muslim League, the Hindu Mahasabha and the Sikh communalists unhappy about the Nehru Report, but the younger section of the Congress led by Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Bose were also angered.
• The younger section regarded the idea of dominion status in the report as a step backward, and the developments at the All-Parties Conference strengthened their criticism of the dominion status idea.  Nehru and Subhash Bose rejected the Congress’ modi fi ed goal and jointly set up the Independence for India League. Topic: Modern History Sub-Topic: Nehru Report
