Explanation:

Members of the Constituent Assembly were elected indirectly by members of newly elected provincial assemblies, and initially included representatives from Pakistan's provinces (some of which are now in Bangladesh).

Govind Ballabh Pant opposed the demand for separate electorates in the Constituent Assembly because he believed that separate electorates would permanently isolate minorities.
