23 Years Completed To Parliament Attack, PM Modi Pays Tribute to Martyrs | ABP News

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to the martyrs of the 2001 Parliament attack, emphasizing that their sacrifice continues to inspire the nation. “I paid homage to those martyred in the 2001 Parliament attack. Their sacrifice will forever inspire our nation. We remain eternally grateful for their courage and dedication,” PM Modi wrote on X (formerly Twitter). On December 13, 2001, several individuals made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the Indian Parliament during a terrorist assault. The martyrs included Jagdish, Matbar, Kamlesh Kumari, Nanak Chand, and Rampal, Assistant Sub-Inspectors of Delhi Police, as well as Om Prakash, Bijender Singh, Ghanshyam, head constables, and Deshraj, a gardener with the Central Public Works Department (CPWD). The attack was carried out by terrorists from Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), two Pakistan-based militant groups. The assault led to the deaths of five Delhi Police personnel, two Parliament Security Service staff members, one CRPF constable, and a gardener, heightening tensions between India and Pakistan and leading to the 2001-2002 India-Pakistan standoff.
