Resolution
of Kashmir Socialist Party
September 18, 1947
Legal Document No
109
( Extract )
The Kashmir Socialist party has given their best
and closest consideration to the question whether the
State of Jammu and Kashmir should accede to India or
to Pakistan or it should remain independent. The Party
is of the opinion that in view of the developments
during the last few months the natural and the best
course for the State to adopt would be to join
Pakistan and not India. For obvious and substantial
reasons the Party believes that the State cannot
remain independent. After mature consideration the
Party has arrived at the decision that in the best
interests of the poor and backward people accession to
Pakistan is desirable. The Party impresses upon the
Maharaja that without any further unnecessary delay he
should make an announcement accordingly.
