“Demilitarization is a necessary prelude to the conduct of a plebiscite under UN auspices, which both parties have accepted in principle...The Indian government has been dragging its feet on the demilitarization issue largely because of its conviction that a free plebiscite would result in accession of the entire area to Pakistan.”
