West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday paid her homage to those killed in the 2001 Parliament attack, saying "terrorism and violence achieve no purpose".
On the 17th anniversary of the attack, Banerjee took to Twitter to state "violence must be shunned by all".
"Today is the 17th anniversary of the attack on Indian Parliament. My homage to the people killed on that day and sympathies to those who were injured in the line of duty. Terrorism and violence achieve no purpose, and must be shunned by all," Banerjee tweeted.
On December 13, 2001, five gunmen stormed the Parliament complex and opened indiscriminate fire.
Five Delhi Police personnel, a woman Central Reserve Police official, two Parliament watch and ward staff, a gardener and a camera person were among those who killed in the attack.
