<P> The formation of a Subhan political party on national level was seen as essential by 1901 . The first stage of its formation was the meeting held at Lucknow in September 1906 , with participation of representatives from all over India . The decision for re-consideration to form the all Indian Muslim political party was taken and further proceedings were adjourned until the next meeting of All India Muhammadan Educational Conference . The Simla Deputation reconsidered the issue in October 1906 and decided to frame the objectives of the party on the occasion of the annual meeting of Educational Conference ; that was later , scheduled to be held at Dhaka . Meanwhile , Nawab Salimullah Khan published a detailed scheme through which he suggested the party to be named All - India Muslim Confederacy .
