Indian Parliament

       Today is the 18th anniversary of the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001. On 9 February 2013, we were all awakened with the news that Afzal Guru, the mastermind of the country's biggest terrorist attack, was hanged. The mercy petition of Afzal Guru was rejected by the President on February 3, after which he was sentenced on charges of Parliament attack. Afzal Guru was the main conspirator of this attack. Afzal Guru's name is taken naturally after the terrorist attacks are discussed many times inside the country. Separatist organizations still protest against Afzal's hanging on every anniversary and demand that his remains be handed over to the family. At the same time, many organizations in Kashmir protest against the hanging of Afzal, demonstrating him as a 'martyr'. This is the biggest misfortune of our country.

What was Happen at December 13, 2001: The Parliament Attack 

       It was the winter session of Parliament and the functioning of Parliament had started as usual. Both the houses were adjourned shortly before the firing by the terrorists. Meanwhile, at 11.25 am, five terrorists armed with AK-47 guns and hand grenades attacked. The then Home Minister Lal Krishna Advani was present in the Parliament along with his ministers and around 200 MPs.

        Nobody had any idea what was going to happen next. On the other hand, a white ambassador car ran away on Parliament Street. The red light and the sound of sirens ringing. There was no scope for doubt. This car turned left from Vijay Chowk and started moving towards Parliament. Meanwhile, a voice echoed over the wireless set of security personnel present in the Parliament complex. Vice President Krishnakanth was about to leave for home, so the convoy of his cars was ordered to stand at the designated place. This place was in front of Gate number 11 of Parliament House. In a few seconds, all the vehicles came neatly in front of gate number 11.

December 13, 2001: The Parliament Attack 

      Suddenly a white ambassador car entered the Parliament complex and started moving fast, security personnel ran to stop it. Suddenly, five fidayine sitting in the car come out and indiscriminately start firing bullets.

            Nobody could understand anything right now, when the four doors of the ambassador open simultaneously and the five fidayeen sitting in the car go out in a blink of an eye and start indiscriminately firing bullets. All five were equipped with AK-47s. The five had bags on their back and shoulders. Inside the Parliament House, there was an atmosphere of chaos, which the corner was seen running away from. All senior ministers including LK Advani and Defense Minister George Fernandez were immediately taken to safer places. After this, the security personnel closed all the doors leading inside the house and took their positions. One terrorist blew himself up as soon as he was shot, the other terrorists were also throwing grenades on the security personnel in between. All the terrorists were surrounded from all sides and finally after a while all were stacked one by one.

         2001 Parliament attack: Who was Afzal Guru? He had left MBBS to take terrorist training. 

         Mohammad Afzal Guru was the mastermind of the attack on Parliament on 13 December 2001, the sacred temple of Indian democracy. Afzal was hanged in Tihar jail at 8.00 am on 9 February 2013 (Saturday) after 11 years, a month and 26 days later. Afzal was hanged in a very secret manner like the hanging of Pakistani terrorist Aamir Ajmal Kasab, convicted of the Mumbai terror attack. After awakening from sleep apnea, the big news that gave the countrymen a pleasant feeling was heard and seen that the story of terror Afzal has ended.

Terrorist Afzal Guru

         Masood Azhar came to India in 1993 on a Portugal passport. Within a few months he was caught in southern Kashmir. At that time, he was the general secretary of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen. For the next seven years he was imprisoned. He was released in 1999 along with two terrorists, Omar Saeed and Mushtaq Zargar, in lieu of the Kandahar plane crash.

             Afzal Guru, the mastermind of the Parliament attack, was a resident of Jammu and Kashmir. He was very smart in reading and was preparing for MBBS as well as IAS. However, later he came in contact with the separatists and took membership of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front and from there he started taking training in terrorism and jihad. Afzal was given dangerous training for jihad and fidayin attack here. He was introduced to other terrorists in Pakistan and incited to be part of the conspiracy being hatched against India. Then his time was over and he made the biggest mistake of life by attacking Parliament.

Conclusion:- 

       Despite all this, a person wakes up inside a well-known section of our country and they feel that something has gone wrong but they do not see that slaughter. In the end, this is the prayer, O God! Give wisdom to everyone.
