  • Synopsis of Debate
    RAJYA SABHA __________ ∗SYNOPSIS OF DEBATE __________ (Proceedings other than Questions and Answers) __________ Friday, December 11, 2009/ Agrahayana 20, 1931 (Saka) __________ REFERENCE REGARDING EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF TERRORIST ATTACK ON THE PARLIMANENT BUILDING ON THE 13TH DECEMBER, 2001 MR. CHAIRMAN: Hon'ble Members, 13th December, 2009, marks the Eighth Anniversary of the dastardly attack on the Parliament House by terrorists. On this occasion we recall the supreme sacrifices made by our security personnel including two staff of the Parliament Security Service from the Rajya Sabha Secretariat, five Delhi Police personnel and a woman constable for the Central Reserve Police Force, who laid down their lives while preventing entry of terrorists inside the Parliament House building. A Gardener of the CPWD also lost his life in the incident. I am sure, the whole House will join me in condemning this incident in unequivocal terms. We once again re-iterate our firm resolve to fight terrorism with determination and re-dedicate ourselves to protect the sovereignty and integrity of our nation.
