Detailed Solution

The above statement is true;
Due to the non-participation of Muslim political organisations during the Civil Disobedience Movement, the gap between Muslims and Hindus has grown. The Muslim demand for special seats resulted in conflicts between Congress and Muslims. The Non-Cooperation-Khilafat movement's failure caused a sizable portion of Muslims to feel cut off from Congress. Due to their anxiety over becoming Muslims in India as a minority, a sizable percentage of Muslims have become disenfranchised from the conflict. However, Muhammad Jinnah, one of the Muslim League's leaders, was prepared to drop the demand for separate electorates in exchange for reserved seats in the Central Assembly and representation in the provinces with a majority of Muslims (Bengal and Punjab).
