Direct Action Day Observation
The Pratyaksh Karyawahi Diwas, commonly known as Direct Action Day, was observed on 16 August 1946.
This day was called upon by the Muslim League.
- The Muslim League aimed to protest against the British government's plan for an independent India and to press for their demand for a separate Muslim state, Pakistan.
- The observance led to widespread communal violence, particularly in Calcutta.
Therefore, the correct option is the one mentioning the Muslim League.
