Shimla Conference
In 1945, when the Shimla Conference was held, Nawab Ismail Khan played an active part. The conference, however, failed due to Congress intransigence. Later, in June 1946, his name was proposed for the Interim Government with eminent leaders such as the Quaid-i-Azam, Pandit Nehru and Sardar Patel. But it was reported that Nawab Ismail Khan himself refused to join the Interim Government.

Famous quotes containing the word conference:
“The peace conference must not adjourn without the establishment of some ordered system of international government, backed by power enough to give authority to its decrees. ... Unless a league something like this results at our peace conference, we shall merely drop back into armed hostility and international anarchy. The war will have been fought in vain ...”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
