When did Sarojini Naidu say about Jinnah in 1947 on being asked about India's partition on 14 th August, 1947?

She was asked how could India be partitiond despite her presence in Indian National Congress ? She said, "Even hundreds of Nehru, Gandhi & Patel in Muslim League could not have got Pakistan (after India's partition on August 14, 1947) but if there was a single Jinnah in Indian National Congress, India would never have been partitioned." She referred to advocacy of Jinnah of top order, unmatchable in Congress. None was able to bluff Jinnah. Gandhiji tried too much by beating about the bush but always failed. She was a patriotic poetess. Her anti-partition poems failed & that's why she was asked the above mentioned question. Her statement was published in newspapers.
