Quaid-e-Azam answered that the Muslims of India were a complete nation and they had their own interests different from Hindus. But Gandhi was not ready to accept any other community. Sir Shafi also emphasized on the importance of communal issue.

Good Notes Roshan, Keep it up. I really appreciate. However some points to clarify.
Quaid-e-Azam did not participated in the second round table conference so he did not 'answer'.

Well, the Muslims were unhappy on the award but did not refuse to accept it. Rather, they accepted it. In its annual session of 1933, the All India Muslim League passed a resolution that reads;
"Though the decision falls far short of the Muslim demands, the Muslims have accepted it in the best interest of the country, reserving to themselves the right to press for the acceptance of all their demands."
