AIMS AND OBJECTIVES :

The Muslims demanded that:- Jazirat-ul-Arab including Mesopotamia,


Arabia, Syria and Palestine with the Holy places situated therein must
always remain under the direct suzerainty of the Khilafat.
The Khilafat Movement aimed at presenting the Ottoman Empire and
the continuity of the temporal power of Khalifa to protect Muslim lands
without any mandate.
Mohammad Ali put forward the demands of the Khilafat Movement in a
speech delivered at Paris on March 21, 1920 by declaring: The Khilafat
shall not be dismembered but that the Khalifa shall have sufficient
temporal power for the defence of the Faith, that in the Island of Arabia
there shall be exclusive, Muslim control without mandate or protection
and that the Khalifa shall remain as heretofore the warden of the Holy
places.
VICEROY REACTION TO THE DELEGATION:
Lloyd George,the British Prime Minister pacified the delegation and
muslims all over the world, had assured the world that the Allies had
no intention to dismember Turkey and after the war Turkish
possessions would be made over to Turkey. He said, nor are we
fighting to deprive Turkey of the rich lands of Asia Minor and Thrace,
which are predominantly Turkish in race. and the sacred places of
turkey would be honoured and no harm should be done to the sacred
and holy muslim places.
