Manifestos of Congress and Muslim League:

 It was the manifesto of Congress that South-Asia will be liberated as a single unit. No scheme of the partition will be acceptable to them. Congress claimed itself to be the representative of all the communities and sections of the people living in the Sub-continent and that the Muslims also agree to the viewpoint of the Congress.

 Quaid-e-Azam (Rahmatullah) affirmed that the General Elections will prove plebiscite regarding Pakistan. If the Muslims stood with the Muslim League, it meant they wanted Pakistan. Otherwise, the demand for a separate homeland should be considered as rejected. Muslim League stepped in the arena of elections claiming that it was the only representative of the Muslims of Sub-continent. Although there existed some other Muslim parties, yet none of them represented the majority of the Muslims. Muslim League wanted the partition of South-Asia by the Pakistan Resolution. So, the Muslims could have full authority in the areas having Muslim in the majority.
