The tweet, a screenshot of which is posted above, was the first of a <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.is\/YNxzC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">series of tweets<\/a> in which Agnihotri lashed out at former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru for adopting a defensive strategy in the wake of Pakistani aggression.

The conflict took a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiandefencereview.com\/spotlights\/indo-pak-war-of-1965\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">decisive turn<\/a> when Indian troops opened up a new front in the Punjab, threatening the capture of Lahore, before a ceasefire was announced, ending the hostilities.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who was the Prime Minister in 1965?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Prime Minister of India in August-September 1965 when the war broke out, was Lal Bahadur Shastri. This is the stuff of elementary knowledge and can be easily accessed on the internet. The Prime Minister&#8217;s Office (PMO) website lists the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmindia.gov.in\/en\/former-prime-ministers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prime Ministers<\/a> who have served the country since independence.
