Shankaracharya favours plebiscite in Kashmir
For a “permanent solution” to the Kashmir issue, a plebiscite under the United Nations' supervision should be held on both the sides of the Valley, said Goverdhan Peethadhishwar Shankaracharya Adhokshjanand Devtirth on Sunday. He further asked the government to hold talks with the separatists. Plebiscite is a direct vote by eligible voters to decide an important public question.
