It was on this day in 2001 when five heavily armed Pakistan-trained terrorists stormed into the Parliament complex and opened fire indiscriminately, killing as many as 14 people, mostly security forces personnel and a civilian.
The attack took place around 40 minutes after Parliament was adjourned and about 100 members were still inside the complex.
