We have agreed to this Recommendation which involves among others the weakening of the Centre and the vesting of residuary powers in the Units, on merits, we are opposed to these concessions to the Muslim demands, but, in response to the hope entertained in some quarters that these concessions may lead to a settlement between the two communities – Hindus and Muslims – and also to the solution of the deadlock, we agree to this Recommendation, it being clearly understood that, if such a settlement does not take place as expected, then our agreement to this resolution will not operate as a commitment. New Delhi,5th April 1945.(Signed) M. R, Jayakar,Jagdish Prasad.
