New Delhi: Lok Sabha on Tuesday paid glowing tributes to those who laid down their lives while foiling a terror attack on Parliament 21 years ago.
As soon as the house assembled, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said it was a sad day for the country as terrorists carried out a cowardly attack on Parliament.
He said that the whole nation stands behind the family of those killed in the terrorist attack and the country stands solidly against any form of terrorism.
The members of the house also stood in silence for some moments in memory of the victims.
