Explanation:

Statement 1: The statement is correct. Muhammad Ali Jinnah called for a "Direct Action Day" on 16 August 1946 to press the demand for Pakistan, following the failure of the Cabinet Mission to broker agreement between the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League on a federal structure to keep India united while allowing provinces autonomy.

Statement 2: The statement is incorrect. It was a Labour government, not a Conservative government, that came to power in Britain in 1945 and committed to granting independence to India.
