Answer

The proposals of Cripps' Mission were rejected by the Congress because of the following reasons-

  1. The plan involved partitioning the country.
  2. The Congress was opposed to the principle of non-accession of the provinces. Gandhiji opposed the Declaration and urged the Working Committee to reject it. Mahatma Gandhi described the Cripps' proposals as a 'post-dated cheque on a failing bank.'
  3. The Congress wanted that all Subjects, including Defence should be handed over to the National Government. The Congress insisted on the immediate formation of a National Government with full responsibility.

The proposals of Cripps' Mission were rejected by the Muslim League because the League opposed the creation of a single union. The proposals did not accept Pakistan specifically. They did not grant the right of self-determination to Muslims.
