The 2001 Indian Parliament Attack occurred on December 13, when five armed terrorists from the militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed stormed the Indian Parliament building in New Delhi. They opened fire, resulting in the deaths of nine people, including security personnel and a civilian. The attack was aimed at disrupting the Indian government and instigating a larger conflict. In response to the attack, the Indian government launched a massive security operation and increased military readiness along the India-Pakistan border. The incident heightened tensions between the two countries, leading to a military standoff in 2001-2002. The attack remains a significant event in India's fight against terrorism.
