Jinnah produced his fourteen points in response to the Nehru Report in 1929. Jinnah wanted seperate Muslim electorates in the Indian Govt. so that muslims could have representation of 1/3 in every decision made by the government of India. Nehru Report said that there should be joint electorates which was automatically declared as against the Muslims of India and they opposed it. That is why Jinnah produced his fourteen points.
Urdu was the official language of Muslims in India from a very long time and they recognized it a language for the muslims after Arabic. The Nehru Report said that Hindi should be made the official language of India which was rejected by all the Muslims as it was against their choices and instead they wanted Urdu in place of Hindi. This was why Jinnah produced his fourteen points to establish Urdu as the official language.
Jinnah wanted full provincial autonomy for the muslims while the Nehru Report said that the powers will be with the Central Government. This meant that Hindus were in majority and they would win the elections being the Central Government. This will result in muslims being suppressed and permenently in the minority. To restrict Nehru from doing so, Jinnah produced his 14 points.
