The death of Lal Bahadur Shastri and a conspiracy in the film by Vivek Agnihotri

Former Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri may have died as a result of a connection between Subhash Chandra Bose, according to the trailer for Vivek Agnihotri's latest film, The Tashkent Files. Shastri, who succeeded Jawaharlal Nehru as prime minister in 1964, died in Tashkent on January 11, 1966 following a heart attack. The day before, he signed the Tashkent Declaration, a peace treaty between India and Pakistan following the Indo-Pakistani war of 1965.

The film examines conspiracy theories that continue to circulate around of Shastri's death. Was he killed by his rivals in Congress (read Indira Gandhi, who succeeded him as prime minister)? Or was it because he reported the news that the Indian National Army chief, Subhas Chandra Bose, had survived the plane crash in 1945 and that he was actually in Tashkent at the time of Shastri's visit?

A Buddhist monk says, "This is the biggest hiding place in India. The war against the so-called silence on Shastri's death extends to the power elite ahead of Narendra Modi Delhi, a frequent target of director Agnihotri's tirades on Twitter. The film will be released on April 12, one day after the first phase of the general election.

Agnihotri credits include Chocolate (2005), Dhan Dhan Dhan Goal (2007) and History of Hate (2012). 19459006 (1945). cms-block-cms-block-embed cms-block-embed-youtube a-subtext "data-iframe =" "data-embed-type =" youtube "data-thumbnail =" https: // i .ytimg .com / vi / OgWylHdfIdo / hqdefault.jpg "data-embed-id =" OgWylHdfIdo "data-embed-Load =" false "data-height =" 270 "data-width =" 480 ">
