7. Comment on Kashmir Assembly elections:
Press and radio reports from India stating that
Premier Sheikh Abdullahv s Indian-dominated National Conference party has
obtained 57 of 75 seats in the Kashmir Constituent Assembly indicate that
the "elections" to these seats are being systematically rigged. They also
suggest that opposition to Sheikh Abdullah's party is being ruthlessly sup-
pressed.

In the two provinces of Kashmir and Ladakh,
National Conference candidates in 44 of the 45 constituencies have been de-
clared elected without a vote because of the absence of opposition. In
Jammu province, the National Conference has apparently recently captured
12 or 13 of the 30 seats originally reported as being contested by asi oppo-
sition party � also without a vote.
3.5(c)
With the members of Sheikh Abdullab's party
safely installed in 76 percent of the seats in the Assembly before any voting
has taken place, it is obvious that the people of Kashmir will have little
opportunity to express their will regarding the composition of the Assembly.
Both the Indian and Kashmiri Governments will probably point to these
"elections" as reflections of popular will and will use them as an argument
against the need for an eventual UN-sponsored plebiscite to determine the
allegiance of the State to India or Pakistan.
