Act as a Leader

• Jinnah broke with the Congress in 1920 when the
  Congress leader, Mohandas Gandhi, launched a
  law-violating Non-Cooperation Movement against
  the British, which Jinnah disapproved of. Unlike
  most Congress leaders, Gandhi did not wear
  western-style clothes, did his best to use an
  Indian language instead of English, and was
  deeply rooted to Indian culture. Gandhi's local
  style of leadership gained great popularity with
  the Indian people. Jinnah criticised Gandhi's
  support of the Khilafat Movement, which he saw as
  an endorsement of religious zealotry. By 1920,
  Jinnah resigned from the Congress, with a
  prophetic warning that Gandhi's method of mass
  struggle would lead to divisions between Hindus
  and Muslims and within the two communities.
  Becoming president of the Muslim League, Jinnah
  was drawn into a conflict between a pro-Congress
  faction and a pro-British faction.
