<P> However , opinion was divided , with support for co-operation coming from some members of the Muslim League and also both Hindus and members of the Central Sikh League . An All - India Committee for Cooperation with the Simon Commission was established by the Council of India and by selection of the Viceroy , Lord Irwin . The members of the committee were : C. Sankaran Nair ( Chairman ) , Arthur Froom , Nawab Ali Khan , Shivdev Singh Uberoi , Zulfiqar Ali Khan , Hari Singh Gour , Abdullah Al - Mamun Suhrawardy , Kikabhai Premchand and M.C. Rajah . In Burma ( Myanmar ) , which was included in the terms of reference of the Simon Commission , there was strong suspicion either that Burma 's unpopular union with India would continue , or that the constitution recommended for Burma by the Commission would be less generous than that chosen for India ; these suspicions resulted in tension and violence in Burma leading to the rebellion of Saya San . </P>
