Journalist tosses shoe at home minister over Tytler clean chit
A Journalist tossed a shoe at Union Home Minister P.Chidambaram during a news conference in Delhi to protest the Central Bureau of Investigation's clean chit to Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
The shoe didn't hit the minister who got out of the way just in time. The journalist, Jarnail Singh, was promptly led out of the conference being held at the Congress headquarters. Chidambaram carried on with the briefing.
But the incident touched a raw nerve in the Congress, prompting a section of the party to support a rethink on party tickets to Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar - who have faced charges of involvement in the anti-Sikh riots.
