Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Only 1
The 1972 Shimla Agreement, signed by Indira Gandhi and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, explicitly required both sides to respect the Line of Control, so statement 1 is correct. The Lahore Summit (Lahore Declaration) was held in February 1999—not 1997—between A.B. Vajpayee and Nawaz Sharif, making statement 2 wrong. There has been no ‘Islamabad Summit’ between Rajiv Gandhi and Nawaz Sharif (Rajiv died in 1991), so statement 3 is also wrong. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
