Pandit Motilal Nehru...
...Khan traveled from his sumptuous home in Bombay (western India) to Delhi (northern India), and there prepared to sit as chairman of the all-India Mohammedan Congress.

Thoroughly suspicious of Sir John and all his works-Pandit Nehru has said: "In this Commission there is nothing but a machine to forge chains upon India. . . . Personally I should prefer forced slavery to being a party to forging the chains to bind...
