Parliament Attack: A day to remember.

It was about 4 years ago on December 13, 2001 Indian Parliament was attacked by terrorists. It resulted in the death of all the terrorists and seven Indian policemen. I still remember how the news was flashed Indian Parliament Under Attack by all the Indian news channels aka the 9/11 attack when American channels showed America Under Attack.
After the attack there were questions asked to the MPs inside about what they felt and most of them said they would have been happy to give their life for the country. The best was from then Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Nirupam that he would have killed atleast 5 0r 6 terrorist before dying. The verdict against few of the people who had master minded is still pending. Also during these years there was an attack on one of the person whom police claims to have master minded the all episode.
In the Feb this year I had the previlege to go to the Parliament House. It was quite an experience. I also saw the marks made by the bullets.
The attack created a big hole into Indian Intelligence Services. Nowhere would have been a attack such as this where armed men were almost successfull to seige the highest government building. Had it not been for those Seven Great Men who gave their life, India would have been having elections at various constituencies in six months time.
