What a shoe it was....... The journalist throwing shoe at Mr. P. Chidambaram( the honourable home minister of India) has been the spice of the story for all news channels and print media. There are different opinions on this issue as to whether the act was right or wrong. And its complicated to come out with a clear cut view that it is justified or not justified. Before we say anything we need to understand the anger which led Mr. Jarnail to take this perversive step. If one sees that justice not provided even after 25 years gone, then how come a person sit back and take the decision lightly. He perhaps had no other way but to do this.
He is a journalist and he could have used words in place of shoe. But above all he is a human being. He has got his due sentiments and feelings which are above his profession. And we can't blame him for all this. If a person implicated in mass conspiracy is set free and allowed to contest elections then there is bound to be reactions like that. And the reaction this has been in the form of that journalist. Some day it might be some other person. So unless we stop criminalising our politics, I hope there would be more such incidents. His act may not be justified by law but then the other day Mr. Jaswant Singh rightly said 'Law is an Ass'.
