Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday paid homage to those martyred in the 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament, marking the solemn anniversary of the tragedy. In a post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, Modi wrote, “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.” On December 13, 2001, several brave individuals made the ultimate sacrifice while defending the Indian Parliament during a terrorist attack.
The attack was orchestrated by terrorists from Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), two Pakistan-based militant groups. Among those martyred were Jagdish Prasad Yadav, Matbar Singh Negi, Kamlesh Kumari, Nanak Chand, and Rampal, Assistant Sub-Inspectors of Delhi Police; Om Prakash, Bijender Singh, and Ghanshyam, Head Constables; and Deshraj, a gardener with the Central Public Works Department (CPWD).
