BTW Muslim League was formed for preserving the interests of Muslims in India for which they had to be supportive to British rule. ML was never a freedom fighter organisation.

Actually you're wrong on every single account.
Jinnah left politics at that time because he became disillusioned, as the National Convention refused to align with him. But he came back
Quote:
In vain did Jinnah argue at the National convention (1928): "What we want is that Hindus and Mussalmans should march together until our object is achieved...These two communities have got to be reconciled and united and made to feel that their interests are common". The Convention's blank refusal to accept Muslim demands represented the most devastating setback to Jinnah's life-long efforts to bring about Hindu-Muslim unity, it meant "the last straw" for the Muslims, and "the parting of the ways" for him, as he confessed to a Parsee friend at that time. Jinnah's disillusionment at the course of politics in the subcontinent prompted him to migrate and settle down in London in the early thirties. He was, however, to return to India in 1934, at the pleadings of his co-religionists, and assume their leadership.

Congress was actually formed to support British rule initially. So was the Muslim League. But Jinnah was not a member of the original Muslim League. Jinnah was a Congress Party member who resigned his membership and came over to the Muslim League YEARS AFTER its founding. Both Congress and the Muslim league had the same goal of an independent India.
