1927 November, British Government appointed Sir John Simon to inquire the constitutional affairs of the country, but this commission was not welcomed by any Indian.To discuss the political situation of India, the congress invited all the parties in Bombay on May 19, 1928. The Muslim League boycotted the conference. The all parties congress which was held in Bombay was lead by Pandit Moti Lal Nehru with his son Jawaharlal Nehru acting as a secretary, he was asked to submit a report on the things discussed in the congress meeting and that report was known as "Nehru Report"
The points discussed in Nehru's report were against the interests of the Muslim community. It stated that India should be given the status of Dominion and Hindi should be made the official language of India, earlier it was Telugu, Kannada, Gujarati, and Bengali. The report also focused on equal rights of men and women. The principles of joint electorates were to make their position in Punjab as well as in Bengal and Muslims could not surrender their rights to separate electorates. It did not provide separate electorates for any community or weightage for minorities.
The "Nehru Report" mainly consisted of the points against the Muslim community, so with few exceptions, Muslims and Quaid-e-Azam rejected it. Nehru report reflected the negative attitude towards the Muslims of India. In reaction Mohammad Ali Jinnah drafted his fourteen points in 1929 which focused on separate electorates and weightage. Residuary power was another point which was raised by Mohammad Ali Jinnah because Muslims were not a minority in the provinces of North-East and North-West of India.
The Nehru Report of 10 August 1928 was a memorandum to appeal for a new dominion status and a federal set-up of government for the constitution of India. It also proposed for the Joint Electorates with reservation of seats for minorities in the legislatures.
