In 1924, who referred to the AIML as a religious organization?

In 1924, the prominent poet-philosopher and political figure, Allama Iqbal, referred to the All-India Muslim League (AIML) as a religious organization. This statement reflected his perspective on the League's role in representing the distinct religious and cultural identity of Muslims in British India, rather than solely a secular political entity. Therefore, option B is accurate.

• Option A (Muhammad Ali Jinnah), while a key leader, did not make this specific characterization in 1924.
• Option C (Lala Lajpat Rai) was a Hindu nationalist leader and would not typically characterize the AIML in this manner.
• Option D (Maulana Shaukat Ali) was a leader of the Khilafat Movement, but this specific quote is not attributed to him.
