Statement 2 is correct: The origins of Pakistan 's demand have been traced back to the Urdu poet Mohammad Iqbal, the author of "Sare Jahan Se Achha Hindustan Hamara."

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan was a prominent Gandhian leader from the North West Frontier Province and led many movements in the region through Khudai Khidmatgars. He was opposed to the idea of partition and was disappointed when Congress accepted the partition of India.
