Given statements:

A) During Shastri's rule India faced economic problems along with failed monsoons, drought, and serious food crisis. (Correct)

B) The country also faced a war with Pakistan during his rule in the year 1965. (Correct) 

Shastri was the country’s Prime Minister from 1964 to 1966. During Shastri’s brief Prime Ministership, the country faced two major challenges. While India was still recovering from the economic implications of the war with China, failed monsoons, drought and serious food crisis presented a grave challenge. As discussed in the previous chapter, the country also faced a war with Pakistan in 1965. Shastri’s famous slogan ‘Jai Jawan Jai Kisan’, symbolized the country’s resolve to face both these challenges.
