At a time when the Indian Government had been trying to push through Parliament, a Bill aimed at preventing terrorism, the fierce gun battle of December 13 that took place within the Parliament compound is too shocking.
The manner in which five unidentified armed men wearing military uniforms carrying machine guns, grenades and explosives drove a stolen car onto the countrys high security area in the heart of Delhi and killed at least six security guards and a civilian before they were shot dead by security personnel reads like a crime thriller.
Although the objective of the intruders has been foiled, nevertheless, the incident apparently depicts the symptoms of a deeper malaise.
