How many amendments were proposed by Jinnah in the Nehru Report?

Correct Answer: Three

At the All Parties Conference (1928), Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah proposed three amendments to the Nehru Report to safeguard the political rights of Muslims. When these amendments were rejected, he later presented his famous Fourteen Points (1929).

The three amendments proposed by Jinnah were:

• One-third representation: Muslims should have one-third representation in the Central Legislature.
• Residuary powers: All residuary powers should remain with the provinces, not the central government.
• Muslim majorities: The existing Muslim majorities in Punjab and Bengal should not be reduced through territorial redistribution or changes in representation.

Why the other options are incorrect:

• Two: Jinnah proposed three amendments, not two.
• Four: This is incorrect. Jinnah later presented the Fourteen Points, but his amendments to the Nehru Report were only three.
• Seven: There were not seven amendments proposed by Jinnah to the Nehru Report.
