Correct Answer:
C. A.K Fazlul Haq
The historic Pakistan Resolution, which formally demanded the creation of independent states for Muslims in the North-Western and Eastern zones of India, was moved by Maulvi A.K. Fazlul Haq. This momentous resolution was presented during the annual session of the All-India Muslim League at Minto Park (now Iqbal Park) in Lahore on March 23, 1940. A.K. Fazlul Haq was then the Chief Minister of Bengal and a prominent leader of the Muslim League. His moving of the resolution was a pivotal moment in the struggle for Pakistan, articulating the demand for a separate homeland and setting the stage for its creation.
- Liaquat Ali Khan: Liaquat Ali Khan was a key leader of the Muslim League and later became Pakistan's first Prime Minister. While he played a crucial role in the adoption and implementation of the resolution, he was not the one who formally moved it in 1940.
- Quaid-e-Azam: Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Quaid-e-Azam, presided over the Lahore Session and delivered a powerful speech outlining the rationale for the resolution. However, he did not physically move the resolution himself; he provided the essential leadership and vision for the movement.
- Sir Zafrullah: Chaudhry Muhammad Zafarullah Khan was an eminent lawyer and diplomat who held significant positions, including Pakistan's first Foreign Minister. He was not associated with moving the Pakistan Resolution and represented a different political and religious identity.
