   Simla Agreement and the Line of Control

   Indira Gandhi and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto agreed that in Jammu and Kashmir the line of control resulting from the ceasefire of 17 December 1971 'shall be respected by both sides without prejudice to the recognized position of either side'. Each government maintains its own claim to the whole of the former princely state, whose parts are administered by India, Pakistan and China.
