The Maharaja opted for a temporary accession with India and as such many cases of treasons were filed against the Shiekh Abdullah for his Quit Kashmir movement by the Govt. of India. With the help of Mahatma Gandhi & Jawaharlal Nehru, all the cases were withdrawn for which Sheikh Abdullah supported the accession of Kashmir with India.
Pakistan, with the help of Qabailie Jihadies, sent its troops in 1948 to Kashmir and annexed 3/4th of its territory. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru took the matter to U.N.O. where he accepted a resolution favoring holding plebiscite in Jammu & Kashmir. People of Kashmir accepted the resolution & waited for plebiscite.

Thereafter central Govt. induced men of their choice as Prime Ministers & Chief Ministers for suppressing the voice of the majority for plebiscite. These heads of the state exploited their position and curbed the rights of masses & misinformed the international community about the political developments in Kashmir.
