Journalist Throws Shoe on Home Minister P Chidambaram

Home Minister P Chidambaram

Few months back US Former President BUSH got the Shoe from the IRAQ Journalist, Our Home Minister P Chidambaram got the same treatment with A Sikh journalist.

Sikh Journalist hurled a shoe at Home Minister P Chidambaram protesting against CBI's clean chit to senior Congress leader Jagdish Tytler accused in 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, but it missed the target.

Chidambaram, who was addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters, was surprised when suddenly Jarnail Singh, journalist from a Hindi daily, flung the shoe and an alert Home Minister made a quick movement to see it pass by him.

Chidambaram said "Please take him away," who later added "gently, gently" as the journalist was escorted out of the press conference hall. Later, he was taken away by police but it was not clear whether any case has been registered against him against the backdrop of Chidambaram saying "I forgive him".
