About Tashkent Declaration in brief
The Tashkent Declaration was a peace agreement between India and Pakistan signed on 10 January 1966 that resolved the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. The war was over control of the resources and population of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, a sore point between both countries ever since Partition in 1947. The agreement was criticized in India because it did not contain a no-war pact or any renunciation of guerrilla warfare in Kashmir.
After signing the agreement, Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri died mysteriously. The Indian government has refused to declassify a report on his death claiming that this could harm foreign relations, cause disruption in the country and a breach of parliamentary privileges. It is believed that he was poisoned.
