Remembering the 2001 attack on Parliament

The Delhi Police detained four people after the Lok Sabha witnessed a chaos on Wednesday afternoon.

 

Two unidentified persons were detained after they jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber, while the Winter Session of the Parliament was underway. The Delhi Police also detained two other persons - a man and a woman from outside the Parliament, for protesting with coloured smoke.

 

The incident comes on a day when the nation marked the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack, when terrorists of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) outfits attacked the Parliament complex, killing nine people.
