From the Indian Annual Register 1947 (page 199, electronic page 240):
The All India Majlis-e-Ahrar
The Working Committee - Lahore - 24th March 1947
Ahrar's Change of Attitude to Congress
The Working Committee of the All-India Majlis-e-Ahrar at its session at Lahore on the 24th March 1947 passed a resolution suggesting the revision of its policy of co-operation with the Congress and giving it a new orientation in accordance with "the spirit and ideal of the Muslim nation."
The resolution passed by the Committee places the blame for the communal riots on the "Fascist Congress leadership." It accuses the Congress of having set out on "a pre-planned programme of aggression" in order to coerce and intimidate the Muslim majority into submission and incapacitate it for its legitimate role in the Province. The resolution asserts that the "gruesome happenings in Bihar and Noakhali and the other parts of the country were the results of the Fascist mentality of the Congress and states that this aggressive attitude of the Congress has forced the Majlis-e-Ahrar to revise its policy of co-operation with the Congress." The Working Committee has also appealed to come together in a joint effort to achieve the emancipation of the Indian Muslims.
By another resolution, the Working Committee opposed the partition of the Punjab as proposed by the Congress. A sub-committee was also set up to contact other Muslim political organisations and formulate a common programme of action.
