Why was the August Offer rejected by the Congress as well as the Muslim League?
Answer
The Congress rejected the offer because the minorities especially the Muslim League were assured that no constitutional scheme would be acceptable to the government unless and until it was agreed to by the minorities.
The Muslim League did not accept the offer, as it did not give a clear assurance for the establishment of Pakistan.
