The statement that Muslim League and Hindu Mahasabha actively participated in the movement is NOT correct.

The Quit India Movement was largely led by the Indian National Congress. The Muslim League, under Muhammad Ali Jinnah, did not support the movement and instead focused on its demand for Pakistan. The Hindu Mahasabha also did not officially support the movement.

The movement did break out in August 1942. There were significant industrial strikes, including in the Ahmedabad Textile Mills. The Communist Party of India also did not support the Quit India Movement initially, as they aligned with the Allied war effort after Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union; they viewed the war as a ‘People’s War’ against Fascism.
