Shoe thrown at Home Minister P Chidambaram

Today at 7 April 2009 at a press conference in New Delhi a Journalist has thrown a shoe at Home Minister P Chidambaram. Luckly the shoe havn't hitted Home Misister P Chidambaram.


Last year 2008 a shoe was thrown at American president George W. Bush. This insident, ie Shoe thrown at Home Minister P Chidambaram resembles last years shoe attack on US presedent Bush at Iraq by an Iraq Journalist.

The person who had thrown shoe is a Journalist named Jarnail Singh. He is working for a Hindi daily.

If the media people starts like this what will be the scope of press conference?. Simply throwing shoes at political leaders? Throwing shoes wont be considered good according to Indian Culture.

Here the people throwing shoes are rewarded with prizes. This can result in more shoe attacks, as a single shoe throwing can give popularity, fame and money.

Video and images or photos of this shoe attack can be viewed from other websites.

Thank You.
