Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) The All-India Muslim League which was formed in 1906 vehemently opposed the partition of Bengal and separate electorates
Hakim Ajmal Khan was indeed associated with the nationalist Ahrar movement; Sir Syed Ahmad Khan openly criticised and opposed the Indian National Congress when it was founded; and Maulana Barkatullah with Maulana Obeidullah Sindhi joined Raja Mahendra Pratap in setting up the Provisional Government of India at Kabul in 1915. The All-India Muslim League, however, SUPPORTED (not opposed) both the 1905 partition of Bengal and the demand for separate electorates. Hence statement (c) is the only incorrect one, matching the official key. ([civilserviceindia.com](https://www.civilserviceindia.com/upsc_questions/GeneralStudies-2002%28pre%29.html))
