It may also be that the Simla Agreement is being invoked because of lack of knowledge about its actual terms and the circumstances in which it was signed.
Indis is taking full advantage of this factor to spread the misinformation that the Simla Agreement sanctions the perpetuation of the status quo in Kashmir and absolves her from the responsibility of striving for a settlement of the dispute.
By citing the Simla Agreement at this stage, or encouraging others to do so, Indis obviously seeks to prevent those basic issues of the dispute being addressed that were fully taken into account by the United Nations.

 [minstrels] The Plea of the Simla Dancers -- Rudyard Kipling
A bit of historical background: Simla was, at the time, the summer capital of British India, and was as such periodically overrun by the machinery of government.
Between 1864 and 1939 it was the official 'summer capital' of British India, which raised this small town from the status of a mere pleasure resort to a powerful community from which the government of the Raj was conducted between April and October.
An extremely readable piece on Simla: Simla didn't exist before the British came, and they built the town in their own image, turning their backs on India and trying to imagine they were in Sussex.
