New Delhi: Vice President C P Radhakrishnan on Saturday led Parliamentarians in paying floral tributes to those who died fending off terrorists who attacked the Parliament House in 2001.

On the 24th anniversary of the attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Radhakrishnan, who is also the Rajya Sabha Chair, were among the first to offer tributes.

A brief function was held outside the now old Parliament building (Samvidhan Sadan) every December 13 to mark the day.

Separately, President Droupadi Murmu paid tributes to the “courageous heroes” who laid down their lives while protecting Parliament, and said the country remains indebted to them and their families.

“On this day, we reaffirm India’s commitment to fight terrorism in all its forms,” Murmu said in a post on X.
