Round Table Conference
During the spring session of the Provincial Council in 1929 when the subject of separate electorates came up in a debate on an innocuous topic, the United Provinces Town Areas (Amendment Bill) leading Muslims of the United Provinces, most notably the Nawab of Chhatari, spoke in favour of separate electorates.
Nawab Chhatari attended the first Round Table Conference, held in St. James Palace in London on 12 November 1930. The Muslim Delegation was led by the Aga Khan III and others, including, but not limited to, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Sir Mohammad Shafi, Maulana Mohammad Ali, Dr. Shafat Ahmad, Sir Muhammad Zafarullah Khan, Nawab of Chhatari and Fazlul Huq.
