संसद हमले की 24वीं बरसी पर इन नेताओं ने किया शहीदों को नमन!

तारीख- 13 दिसंबर 2001, भारतीय लोकतंत्र के इतिहास में दर्ज एक ऐसा दिन, जिसे देश कभी नहीं भूल सकता। यह वही दिन था, जब आतंकवादियों ने भारत की संप्रभुता और लोकतंत्र के सबसे बड़े प्रतीक, भारतीय संसद पर हमला करने का दुस्साहस किया था। संसद पर हुए उस आतंकी हमले की आज 24वीं बरसी है। ऐसे में पूरा देश उन वीर सपूतों को श्रद्धापूर्वक नमन कर रहा है, जिन्होंने अपनी जान की परवाह किए बिना आतंकियों के मंसूबों को नाकाम कर दिया और लोकतंत्र के मंदिर की रक्षा की।#ParliamentAttack #HeroesOfIndia #DemocracyDefenders #TributeToMartyrs #NeverForget2001
