    conference began in London on 12 Nov 1930 and
    ended 19 Jan 1931.
    All political parties of British India except the congress
    participated. The congress did not participate in the
    first conference and started a civil disobedience
    movement.
    The Muslims did not take part in the civil disobedience
    movement.
    The Muslims delegation included Agha khan, Maulana
    Muhammad Ali Johar,Muhammad Ali Jinnah, A.K Fazlul
    Haq, Sir Muhammad Shafi, Sir Shah Nawaz,Ch Zafar
    ullah and Ghulam Husain Hidayatullah.
    The only point agreed upon was federal system of
    government for India.

    The British prime minister issued the statement that they had
    accepted the proposals for full responsible governments and
    the provinces and federal system in the centre.
    The Muslim delegates made it clear that no proposal would
    be acceptable to them unless it provided satisfactory
    safeguards for Muslim interests.

    conference.
    There was wide difference between the congress and Muslim
    league on almost all issue.

    who did not belong to the congress.

    minorities and insisted Indians were one nation.
