Any one can understand the journalist feelings. But, afterall he is home minister we should respect his stature.

For a change he deserved it!

His party is fielding candidates who are known to be guilty of mass murders. The carnage that occurred in 1984 was even worse than what occurred in 2002. If the party which claims to be 'secular' can field such people, they only deserve shoes, not votes.

Chidanbaram was ignoring Jarnail Singh's questions and all he got from PC was 'No Comments' and that angered him, rightly so. And all those who says to respect these sobs politicians should queue for psychiatric treatment. Politicians dont deserve anything whenther old ones or new donkeys.

@expertino.1: One news channel specifically stresses that he threw a Sports Shoe :D as if it matters what type of shoe it was. Quite pathetic indeed.
Bush dodged it twice but the journalist's aim was good but in our case the shoe flew past PC.

Jarnail Singh is my hero.
