"सर्व आसाम पूर्व बंगालला जोडून पाकिस्तानात त्याचा समावेश करावा", अशी सूचना कोणी केली होती ?

The correct answer is Option C (Sir Mahammed Sadullah Khan).

Key Points:
• Assam Politics during Partition (1940s): Under the Cabinet Mission Plan (1946), Assam was grouped into Group C along with Muslim-majority Bengal, threatening Assam's distinct identity.
• Sir Syed Muhammad Saadulla (Saadullah Khan, 1885–1955): Prominent Muslim League leader and former Prime Minister / Premier of colonial Assam.
• Demand for Annexation: Saadullah strongly advocated that Assam was economically interdependent with East Bengal and should be integrated wholly with East Bengal to form part of Eastern Pakistan.
• Resistance by Gopinath Bardoloi: Assam Congress Premier Gopinath Bardoloi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel fiercely resisted this demand and the grouping clause, ensuring Assam remained firmly within India (except Sylhet district after a referendum).
• Key Political Figure: Sir Muhammad Sadullah Khan suggested merging Assam into East Bengal/Pakistan.
• Key Takeaway: Sir Muhammad Sadullah Khan suggested attaching entire Assam to East Bengal for inclusion in Pakistan.
