Joins the All India Muslim League
The leadership of the League is taken over Muhammad Iqbal, who puts forward the demand for a separate Muslim state in India, the "Two-Nation Theory"
The League wins most Muslim seats in the elections, and Jinnah launches the Direct Action campaign of strikes and protests to achieve "Pakistan", which degenerated into communal violence across India
The Army seizes power and the martial law regime of Muhammad Ayub Khan bans all political parties, this was the end of the old Muslim League
After the death of Pakistans dictator, Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, a new Muslim League was formed under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif, but it had no connection with the original Muslim League
