The given question is about identifying the incorrect statement related to the Indian freedom struggle.

Option 1 is a correct statement. Hakim Ajmal Khan, a key Indian nationalist, was indeed one of the leaders to start the Ahrar movement.

In option 2, the statement outlines the opposition of Sayyid Ahmad Khan towards the formation of Indian National Congress. This is historically accurate as Sayyid Ahmad Khan didn`t endorse the INC`s formation.

Option 4 is also true. Maulana Barkaullah and Maulana Obeidullah Sindhi were part of the group that formed a Provisional Government of India in Kabul.

However, the statement in option 3 is incorrect, which makes it the answer. The All-India Muslim League, formed in 1906, did not vehemently oppose the partition of Bengal and separate electorates. In fact, the Muslim League was formed with general support for the partition of Bengal as it was seen as helpful for Muslims, and it was also in favor of separate electorates for Muslims.
