The Nehru report 1928
Conclusion:
The Nehru Report was nothing else than a Congress document and thus totally opposed by Muslims of the Sub-continent.
The Hindus under Congress threatened the government with a disobedience movement if the Nehru report was not implemented into the Act by December 31, 1929.

It also proved to be a turning point in the life of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. After reading the Nehru Report, Jinnah announced a ‘parting of the ways’.
-
Muslims Demands
To come to a compromise and accept ,the league proposed three amendments
1.In the central Legislature, Muslims be given 33.5 per cent of seats
- The residuary powers must rest with the provinces and not the centre
- The Muslim league of Punjab and Bengal should be represented on the basis of population for ten years at least till a revision is made to this principle
Congress Rejection
Congress rejected these points and Mr Jinnah was compelled to call this the parting of the ways for the Muslim League and the Congress
Background
In 1928, an All Parties Conference was convened to solve the constitutional problems for Muslims. A committee was set up under Moti Lal Nehru. That committee prepared a report which is known as "Nehru Report".

All powers would rest with the federation i.e, the provinces would not be in charge of their own affairs.

Since Nehru Report was the last word from Hindus therefore Mr. Jinnah was authorized to draft in concise terms the basis of any future constitution that was to be devised for India Jinnah's aim was to get rights for Muslims.
