'Indian Parliament Attack', Dec 13 2001

On 13 December five gunmen entered to the India Parliament house with Home Ministry and Parliament labels. While both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha had been adjourned 40 minutes prior to the incident, many Members of Parliament (MPs) and government officials as LK Advani and Minister of State for Defence Harin Pathak were still been in the building at the time of the attack.

The 2001 Indian Parliament attack by Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists was a painful incident which led to the death of dozen people, five terrorists and six police men. Mohammed Afzal Guru who was the main accused of this incident was sentenced to death and he should be hanged. But he and his family member appealed for mercy petition to the president. After a decade also, Indian Govt. have failed to take any decision regarding Mohammed Afzal Guru's death sentence.

Though the family of Kamlesh Kumari, a CRPF Jawan who died in the attack has said that they would return the Ashok Chakra awarded to her, if the president accepts the petition, but it is unclear if it had been done so. On 13 December 2006, the families of the deceased returned the medals to the government.
