Dec 14, 2022: The Times of India
On December 13, 2001, terror came knocking at India’s temple of democracy as five terrorists launched an audacious attack on Parliament House in New Delhi.
On that fateful day, both Houses of Parliament had been adjourned 40 minutes before the attack, but several Union ministers, including home minister LK Advani, and more than 100 Members of Parliament (MPs) were still inside the building.
The attack happened just as MPs were preparing to leave the House after an uproar by Opposition members over the coffin scam had stalled proceedings.
Five terrorists breached the massive security cordon in Parliament House at around 11.40am, firing from AK-47 rifles and hurling grenades.
