New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh apparently faced embarrassing moments today when an inconsolable kin of a victim in the Parliament attack case accused the government of not fulfilling the promises made to her.

A tearful Vimla Devi, wife of ASI Nanak Chand, who was killed in the 2001 terrorist attack, turned up at a function that was also attended by leader of the opposition L K Advani and Home Minister Shivraj Patil to pay tributes to the martyrs.

Narrating her woes, she told the function in Parliament house that she was yet to get land for a petrol pump which had been alloted to her as part of compensation following the killing of her husband. "We don't want all these tributes to be paid. I don't have anything. Nobody listens to us," she said.

As Vimla Devi was escorted out, Swaraj later told reporters that the leaders spoke to the Home Minister who assured them that the process of relief and rehabilitation of the victims families would be completed by next year. "She is saying that she has not got anything. We have demanded that wherever there is any gap, it should be filled," the BJP leader said, adding it was a matter of great concern that the families were still facing problems even six year after the Parliament attack case.

The function was also attended by Vice President Hamid Ansari, Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee, Union Ministers A K Antony and P R Dasmunsi, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and BJP MPs Sushma Swaraj, V K Malhotra and Jaswant Singh.

A total of six Delhi Police personnel, one gardener and five terrorists were killed in the attack.

Earlier, at the start of the function, the leaders paid floral tributes to the victims.
