Diplomacy is child's play for Modi
July 07, 2015
In Tashkent (Uzbekistan), PM Modi interacts with children at site of former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri's bust.
What is the connection between Tashkent and Shastri? In 1966, the Soviets had moderated peace talks between India and Pakistan
in the aftermath of the 1965 war. The Indian delegation was led by Prime
Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. The PM passed away immediately after
the peace pact was signed, ostensibly of a heart attack.
