The Fourteen Points of Jinnah were proposed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah drafted by C Rajagopalchari as a constitutional reform plan to safeguard the political rights of Muslims in a self-governing India. A comparison of the Nehru Report (1928) with Jinnah's Fourteen points had a political gap between the Muslims and the Hindus in India. Jinnah's aim was to get more rights for Muslims. He therefore gave his 14 points. These points covered all of the interests of the Muslims at heated time and in this Jinnah stated that it was the "parting of ways" and that he did not want and would not have anything to do with the Indian National Congress in the future. The League leaders motivated Jinnah to revive the Muslim League and give it direction. As a result, these points became the demands of the Muslims and greatly influenced the Muslims thinking for the next two decades till the establishment of Pakistan in 1947.
The report was given in a meeting of the council of the All India Muslim League on 28 March 1929. Nehru Report was criticised by Muslim leaders Aga Khan and Muhammad Shafi . They considered it as a death warrant because it recommended joint electoral rolls for Hindus and Muslims.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah left for England in May 1928 and returned after six months. In March 1929, the Muslim league session was held at Delhi under the presidency of Jinnah. In his address to his delegates, he consolidated Muslim viewpoints under fourteen items and these fourteen points became Jinnah 14 points.
Among the Hindus, Jinnah's points were highly disregarded. Jawaharlal Nehru referred to them as "Jinnah's ridiculous 14 points". This eventually led to Jinnah to form Pakistan. These demands were rejected by the Congress Party.
After the fourteen points were publicised, Jinnah was invited to attend the round table conferences, where he forwarded the Muslim point of view.
