Pak. official tipped terrorists: Advani
By Our Staff Reporter
NOIDA (U.P.), FEB. 4. Throwing a bombshell of sorts, the Union Home Minister, L.K. Advani, said here today that an official of the Pakistan High Commission and agent of the Inter Services Intelligence had gathered information on the security plans of Parliament from an insider. The ultimate plan was to take VVIPs hostage.
Addressing an election meeting, Mr. Advani said the official had visited Parliament to gather information on the security inside the main building and was the source of information for the terrorists who had attacked Parliament on December 13, he said.
``If the five terrorists had succeeded in their attempt, it would have been an open field for them... Had the alert security personnel not acted in time and foiled the nefarious design, the extent of the bloodshed would have been unimaginable,'' he said.
The Home Minister said he would take up with the Lok Sabha Speaker, G.M.C. Balayogi, the issue of erecting a monument inside Parliament in memory of the security personnel who had sacrificed their lives to protect it.
