Lucknow session of 1916 :

The Lucknow Session of the Indian National Congress presided over by a Moderate, Ambika Charan Majumdar, fi nally readmitted the Extremists led by Tilak to the Congress fold.
Another signi fi cant development to take place at Lucknow was the coming together of the Muslim League and the Congress and the presentation of common demands by them to the government.
While the League agreed to present joint constitutional demands with the Congress to the government, the Congress accepted the Muslim League’s position on separate electorates which would continue till any one community demanded joint electorates. The Muslims were also granted a fi xed proportion of seats in the legislatures at all-India and provincial levels.
