    Solution

    · It was on February 20th, 1947, the then British Prime Minister issued a statement that contained clear hints of partition and even balkanisation of India into many states and in essence, a reversion of Cripps Offer. It was in the context of the enthusiasm generated by the INA trials and the deteriorating communal situations, Clement Attlee made the historic announcement regarding the British Government’s “definite intention to take necessary steps to effect the transfer of power to responsible Indian hands by a date not later than June 1948”. · On March 6, 1947, Attlee said in the House of the Commons in London, “The national feeling runs right through all the Indian class and that is why you cannot carry on against the will of the people”.
