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:
“Politics is still the man’s game. The women are allowed to do the chores, the dirty work, and now and then—but only occasionally—one is present at some secret conference or other. But it’s not the rule. They can go out and get the vote, if they can and will; they can collect money, they can be grateful for being permitted to work. But that is all.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
