Question

According to Mountbatten Plan which is incorrect regarding the status of Princely States?

Options

• They will become independent

• All treaties would end

• Plebiscite will be held

Answer 1

Plebiscite will be held

Explanation:

The Mountbatten Plan did not propose a plebiscite for the princely states. Instead, it stated that all treaties with the princely states would end, and they were given the freedom to either join India or Pakistan, or to remain independent. However, the plan did not include the holding of plebiscites to decide their future.
