Summary: Muslim League respectively, both spoke against the proposal, arguing that the League did not represent the whole Muslim community and that the conference had been in existence for nearly twenty-five years and had its own well-established constitution and object. They suggested that the League could join the conference as a co-equal body, similar to the Indian National Congress. Sir M. Yakub defended his proposal, stating that the League was the only representative body of the Muslims of India and that amalgamating with the conference would strengthen the unity and voice of the Muslim community. After a heated debate, the resolution for the amalgamation of the League with the conference was put to vote and was passed by a narrow margin. The decision marked a significant point in the history of Muslim political organizations in India.
