With reference to the proposals of Cripps Mission, consider the following statements:

1. The Constituent Assembly would have members nominated by the Provincial Assemblies as well as the Princely States.
2. Any Province, which is not prepared to accept the new Constitution would have the right to sign a separate agreement with Britain regarding its future status. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

The Cripps Mission arrived in late March 1942, aiming to secure full Indian cooperation and support for British efforts in World War II.

Key Proposals of the Cripps Mission:

• An Indian Union with dominion status would be established, free to determine its relationship with the Commonwealth.
• After the war, a Constituent Assembly would be formed to create a new constitution.
• The British government would accept the new constitution subject to certain conditions, including the right for any province to not accept the new constitution and sign a separate agreement with Britain regarding its future status.

The Constituent Assembly was to be partly elected by the Provincial Assemblies through proportional representation and partly nominated by the Princes.

Statement 1 is not correct because the members were to be partly elected and partly nominated, not fully nominated. Statement 2 is correct as provinces had the right to sign a separate agreement with Britain.

Hence, only statement 2 is correct.
