Russian Prime Minister mediated between Pakistan President Ayub Khan and Indian Prime Minister lal Bahadur Shastri at Tashkent from January 4 to 11, 1966. Both agreed to sign an agreement on January 10, 1966. After that on January 11, 1966, a great banquet was held by the host country Soviet Union. At that time Kremlin Banquet Chief (Head cook) was Ahmet Sattarov. After coming back from the Kremlin banquet, Lal Bahadur Shastri was found dead in his bed room in a suspicious condition.

But there after .....released by the arresting Russian authority. Later it was declared that reason of Shastri's death was Heart attack. It was declared without doing postmortem. People even today suspect that Shastri's death was due to heart attack by poison. Thus Kremlin was probably the centre place for the mysterious death of Lal Bahadur Shastri.
KREMLIN
Importance of the Kremlin is not less than the White House of United States and White Hall of the Britain governments. The word "Kremlin" was first recorded in 1331. http://www.newsanalysisindia.com/post/Kremlin-banquet-and-Shastris-murder.aspx
Moscow’s Kremlin (Russian: Московский Кремль, Moskovskiy Kreml), sometimes referred to as simply The Kremlin, is a historic fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, overlooking the Moskva River (to the south), Saint Basil's Cathedral and Red Square (to the east) and the Alexander Garden (to the west). It is the best known of Kremlins (Russian citadels) and includes four palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. The complex serves as the official residence of the President of Russia.
The name The Kremlin is often used as a metonym to refer to the government of the Soviet Union (1922–1991). It is still used in reference to the government of the Russian Federation. Kremlin is a seat of Rissoam power. "Kremlinology" referred to the study of Soviet policies.
Kremlin in Soviet Union
The Soviet government moved from Petrograd to Moscow on 12 March 1918. Lenin selected the Kremlin Senate as his residence, and his room is still preserved as a museum. Stalin also had his personal rooms in the Kremlin. He was eager to remove from his headquarters all the "relics of the tsarist regime". Golden eagles on the towers were replaced by shining Kremlin stars, while the wall near Lenin's Mausoleum was turned into the Kremlin Wall Necropolis.
The Chudov Monastery and Ascension Convent, with their magnificent 16th-century cathedrals, were dismantled to make room for the military school and Palace of Congresses. The Little Nicholas Palace and the old Saviour Cathedral were pulled down as well. The residence of the Soviet government was closed to tourists until 1955. It was not until the Khrushchev Thaw that the Kremlin was reopened to foreign visitors. The Kremlin Museums were established in 1961 and the complex was among the first Soviet patrimonies inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1990.
Although the current director of the Kremlin Museums, Elena Gagarina (Yuri Gagarin's daughter) advocates a full-scale restoration of the destroyed cloisters, recent developments have been confined to expensive restoration of the original interiors of the Grand Kremlin Palace, which were altered during Stalin's rule. The Patriarch of Moscow has a suite of rooms in the Kremlin, but divine service in the Kremlin cathedrals is held irregularly, because they are still administrated as museums.
