It's very incomplete. Points missed out on are

Jinnah was not a member of the Muslim League initially, he was a Congress Party member and moved to align the League's policies with that of Congress
By 1916, 10 years after its inception, Jinnah had convinced the Muslim League to work towards the same goal as Congress which was an independent India
The most important point related to the make up of the Muslim League. Jinnah (pro-congress) formed one faction of the League in the 20s and Mohammed Shafi (pro-British) formed another. Shafi later left and Jinnah took over, and remained pro-independence or pro-Congress.

The fact that Jinnah put independence first, even though this would hand over the reigns of power to Hindu rule showed his dedication to the independence movement at the cost of his own popularity.
