Lal Bahadur Shastri Death at Tashkent

Friday, October 2, 2009 |

After the declaration of ceasefire, Shastri and Pakistani President Muhammad Ayub Khan attended a summit in Tashkent (former USSR, now in modern Uzbekistan), organised by Kosygin. On 10 January 1966, Shastri and Khan signed the Tashkent Declaration.
The next day Shastri, who had suffered two heart attacks earlier, died supposedly of a heart attack at 1:32 AM. [7]. He was the only Indian Prime Minister, and indeed probably one of the few heads of government, to have died in office overseas. [20].
