He is also famous for the Desai-Liaquat Pact which was secretly signed by Muslim League leader Liaquat Ali Khan and Bhulabhai Desai. There is a belief that neither Congress nor the Muslim League formally approved the agreement, and when the details of the agreement were revealed and exposed, they were the subject of an avalanche of criticism from both Congress as well as also from the Muslim League as well. The matter was mocked.

Life in politics

His political career started after Annie Besant joined the All India Home Rule League. He also was a part of the British Influenced Indian Liberal Part However, he left the party in 1928 because of the Simon Commission issue. Simon Commission was formed to propose constitutional reforms in India however, their members are all Europeans and this led to outrage across the nation. After the Bardoli Satyagraha, 1928, he was brought into contact with members of the Congress Party when he was speaking on behalf of the peasants in front of an inquiry by the British Government Inquiry Team. Bhulabhai stood on the side of farmers with great insight and played a crucial part in the progress of the cause.

 

He became a member of the Congress Party in 1930. He believed that boycotting foreign products was a viable means of achieving his goals and he, therefore, formed an organization called the Swadeshi Sabha and persuaded about 80 mill owners not to purchase goods from abroad. The government banned his group and took him into custody in 1932. In 1932, he was let out of jail because of ill health and was sent to Europe to receive treatment.

As the Congress Working Committee was reconstituted and he was appointed to the committee on Sardar Patel’s demand. In 1934 the year he became a member of the Central Legislative Assembly from Gujarat. He was the leader of the Congress within the Legislative Assembly. Bhulabhai Desai was also against India’s involvement during the Second World War in the legislative assembly.

The government detained the man and took him for detention at Yerawada Jail in Pune for his part in the Satyagraha movement that was started by Gandhiji. His health was deteriorating in prison which led to his release. He was not able to take part in the “Quit India” movement due to his health issues.

 

Desai-Liaquat Pact

In the Quit India movement, all the top leaders from the Congress Working Committee were arrested. Bhulabhai Desai was among the few Congress leaders not to get to jail in 1942 between 1945. Apart from urging the British government to liberation of the political prisoners, Bhulabhai had secret discussions in secret with Liaquat Ali Khan, the second most powerful head of the Muslim League. The theory is that these talks were secretly arranged by both leaders as well as other leaders from both parties are not aware of the discussions.

When the news was made public in the press there was a reaction from both sides. The Muslim League rejected the matter as did the Congress, while Bhulabhai Desai’s credibility was eroded by the Congress.
