why did the Muslim league announce 16 August 1946 as 'Direct Action Day'?

Answer:
On 16 August 1946, the All-India Muslim League proclaimed Direct Action Day in Calcutta, as part of their demand for a separate state for Muslims. Major riots ensued across the city, with 4,000 people being killed. These riots triggered communal violence across the country, including in Bihar.

In the elections to the Constituent Assembly that were held in july 1946, the congress won an overwhelming majority of seats. Alarmed by this, the muslim league decided to boycott the assembly and observed 16 august 1946 as DIRECT ACTION DAY. It condemned the congress and the British government and declared that Muslims should resort to direct action to achieve their goal of Pakistan.
