Sonia Gandhi pays tributes to the security personnel killed during 2001 Parliament attack


Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi spoke on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of India's first Parliamentary session on Sunday and paid homage to great national leaders and also paid tributes to the persons killed during 2001 terrorist attack on Parliament.
Addressing the staff in the Parliament, the Congress President said “We also gratefully acknowledge the contribution of thousands of hard working staff in Parliament who have toiled tirelessly to keep the wheels of this great institution moving efficiently”.
Recalling the Parliament attack, the UPA Chairperson said “And, we pay humble tribute today to the memory of those courageous heroes who laid down their lives in 2001 when Parliament came under attack by forces that seek to undermine our Constitutional democracy”.
“The journey of our great Parliament has not always been smooth or without challenge. Nor did we expect it to be. An anniversary is also a moment for reflection, to consider our role and place in the rich fabric of our nation’s life and history”, she asserted.
Sonia Gandhi emphasized that the integrity and independence of Parliament must be preserved and protected at all cost, with no room for compromise. “Our conduct must rise to the highest ethical standards that were followed and demanded by the founding fathers of our nation” she added.
