And @
Flamingo - Pakistan objected to the unilateral withdrawal of her forces from Kashmir because we believed that you wouldn't adhere to the rest of the Resolution after we had withdrawn & that in the presence of the Indian Armed Forces no referendum could be held that would be free & fair !
Therefore Pakistan had proposed a simultaneous withdrawal of both Indian & Pakistani forces from Kashmir & this was also something that was proposed by GENERAL A.G.L. McNAUGHTON PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL OF THE UNITED NATIONS in his Proposal to the UN where he says :
There should be an agreed program of progressive demilitarization, the basic principle of which should be the reduction of armed forces on either side of the Cease-Fire Line by withdrawal, disbandment and disarmament in such stages as not to cause fear at any point of time to the people on either side of the Cease-Fire Line.
The aim should be to reduce the armed personnel in the State of Jammu and Kashmir on each side of the Cease-Fire Line to the minimum compatible with the maintenance of security and of local law and order, and to a level sufficiently low and with the forces so disposed that they will not constitute a restriction on the free expression of opinion for the purposes of the plebiscite.
The program of demilitarization should include the withdrawal from the State of Jammu and Kashmir of the regular forces of Pakistan; and the withdrawal of the regular forces of India not required for purposes of security or for the maintenance of local law and order on the Indian side of the Cease-Fire Line: also the reduction, by disbanding and disarming, of local forces, including on the one side the Armed Forces and Militia of the State of Kashmir and on the other, the Azad Forces.
The "Northern Area" should also be included in the above program of demilitarization, and its administration should, subject to United Nations supervision, be continued by the existing local authorities.

His Proposal was accepted by Pakistan & embodied by the UN in its subsequent Resolution 80 that served as a revision to the earlier Resolution ! It reads :
Calls upon the Governments of India and Pakistan to make immediate arrangements, without prejudice to their rights or claims and with due regard to the requirements of law and order, to prepare and execute within a period of five months from the date of this resolution a program of demilitarization on the basis of the principles of paragraph 2 of General McNaughton proposal or of such modifications of those principles as may be mutually agreed;

Incidentally, it appears, the UN had passed 4 new Resolutions after the Resolution you quoted, talking about synchronous (simultaneous) withdrawal of troops by both India & Pakistan !
Incidentally still, till this date UN Arbitrators have put forth 11 different proposals for the demilitarization of the region, all of them have been accepted by Pakistan but rejected by India.

So you tell me - Who is acting malafide & who bonafide ?
I'm sure @
