Indians have the right to draw up their own constitution.

Complete answer:
The Cripps mission was sent to India by the British government in March $1942$ to obtain Indian cooperation for the British military efforts in the second world war. It is headed by Sir Richard Stafford Cripps, secretary of labour in the Winston Churchill coalition government Great Britain. The Cripps mission was an unsuccessful attempt at the end of March $1942$ . The mission stated that all of India must become one rule, and after the war its constitution must be drafted by an elected body for adoption by the British government. The Indian province was given the right to leave the center after $10$ years. Congress was confused again after the August offer. Radicals and leftists wanted to start a mass movement for civil disobedience, but here Gandhi insisted on individual satyagraha.

The proposal of Cripps mission is that it will be free to cut ties with the community and participate in the United Nations and other international forums.
