Indians say plebiscite in Kashmir couldn't be held due to non-withdrawal of Pak Army. UN Resolution of 13 Aug 48 says Pak start withdrawal process Ist & while its army WAS BEING WITHDRAWN, bulk of Indian Army was to start withdrawal. India refused to share withdrawal plan with UN

While Pakistan shared its Army's withdrawal plan with UN Mission, it were the Indians who refused to share their withdrawal plan with UN. It clearly meant, they had no intention of withdrawing their forces from Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Indian farce is exposed.

UNSC 1952 Kashmir Resolution No 98 stated that at the end of period of demilitarization, 3000-6000 forces could stay on Pakistan side of cease-fire line & 12000-18000 forces could stay on Indian side. India never withdrew majority of its army, forcing Pak Army to pend withdrawal.

It is very clear that it were the Indians who deliberately did not withdraw their army from Kashmir & created a hurdle in UN sponsored plebiscite. It was never due to non-withdrawal of Pakistan Army, who were ready to withdraw, if Indians would also withdraw as per UN resolution.

"Towards the end of 1948, it became clear to me then that we would never get the conditions which were necessary for a plebiscite [in Kashmir], so I ruled out the plebiscite for all practical purposes."

Selected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru: volume 19, page 323

“It just does not matter what your Constitution says; if the people of Kashmir do not want it, it will not go there. If the plebiscite went against India, we would accept the verdict and we would change our Constitution about it”.

Nehru's speech in the Lok Sabha on June 26, 1952

Early 1954, Nehru met Pakistani Prime Minister & in a joint statement agreed to announce date of plebiscite in Kashmir before Apr 1954. Nehru later refused citing US-Pak agreement saying that it has disturbed the regional balance of power & plebiscite in Kashmir cannot be held.
