Though it is hard to justify what the journalist did, yet I am glad he had the guts to show his disgust at what congress party has done to the justice and political system of India. The whole bunch of so called high command of Congress deserve such treatment for keeping truely evil people like Tytler in the party. Shame on those idiots too who voted for Jagdish Tytler.

It is one of the greatest shame for India also?It is unique incident tnat indian citizen throwing shoe on indian well reputed home Minister.and person realeased without any charges/case.I think Jarnail Singh must be punished.It is disrespet not only P.Chidambaram but more for country.

PART ONE:>>>Dear readers, please weigh my balanced and logical (or illogical) comments, observation and scenario. When a minority community does a discrediting act, we tend to scold the entire community and tend to deny them their fair share and equity. Indian constitution treats the Sikhs as belonging to a sect of Hinduism and not as non-Hindus..that much importance and elevation given to them. Why? In what way are they extra-ordinary? The Golden temple storming caused the mutiny of 2000 Sikh military recruits, Indian military still recruits Sikhs in large numbers and even the majority of the mutineers had been taken back? Why?It has been a traditional belief that Sikh belong to the warrior race. Modern wars are not fought with swords and spears, hence even the so called non-warrior races, with intelligence and mental bravery can fight equally well. For the same reason Napalese Gurkhas have been given a special place of honour in serving the Indian defence forces.Foreigners anyway

It is the first of its kind incident in India but throwing shoes at political leaders has become a high-profile form of protest. This used to happen in Tamilnadu many of the DMK workers have done this at other party meetings!!!! But if the intention to commit a crime itself a punishable offence I have felt the same.You cannot delay and deny justice you can do only one!!!!

PART TWO:>>>Researches have done analysis of the representation of each state of India in the armed forces. The figures reveal that the percentage representation of Andhra is only 4%that of Kashmir only 2%( that is about the same percentage for the entire Muslim minority of India, though firmly disproved, they are considered as not loyal to India, though confirmed cases indicate more anti-national activities involving the people of the majority community), but the Sikhs outnumber others by a huge margin, In 1997 representation of Sikhs was 24% But no one dares to ask the most sensitive question why the so called affirmative action ( called reservation) in favour of the Dalits( the Scheduled castes and scheduled Tribe and the most back ward communities) has not been extended in the case of recruitment to defence services as it has been to all other services including IAS, IPS and IFS. Let us make a difference between individual mutineers and law abiding communities.

Disappointing, but it is real disappointing that no political party has the heart to resolve the Delhi riot issue and bring a good resolution to this issue. According to honorable journalist Shri Kuldip Nayyar, we still have the time to have a "Truth and Reconciliation" type commission to put an end to this issues. Without a good resolution, please do not expect this thing to go away. It will never happen even if you kill the whole Sikh community.

I too would throw the shoe at Chidambaram or any congress person. All Hindus should throw shoes at congress for killing Sikh brethren in 1984 and not showing slightest remorse!

Good One Mr Jarnail singhji I guess we need more of these ppl in our country. Bloody rogues all of the politicians. No matter how much educated they may be they deserve nothing more than shoes and chappals on their head. Get some more shoes on few others too. Particularly for congress leaders.

What about the Hindus that were killed during the trerrorism in Punjab.No one has ever asked the justice for them...........Not even the BJP that at that time was totally against the sikhs and now have joined hands with SAD for their political cause. Why some pay homage to the "terrorists" who were involved in the terrorism in Punjab.Can anyone answer to this question? No one will dare to as they all love the votes........making fool of the people. and people are also Fool. The victims of the Punjab terrorism shall also protest and come together. I will like to see which political party supports them..........

Siukhs have made so many scrifices for the majority community and their country for over 300 years.It was the greatest blunder of Government of India to have used its mighty army against the sikhs on a day of shaheedi divis of their 5thguru troughout Punjab killing inhumanly thousands of innocent unarmed devotees who were in these gurdawaras for prayers.over 50000 persons were estimated to have been bruetly killed by mighty indian army using all the powers and guns under their command..If two security gaurds killed the prime minister what was the faust of innocent law abiding sikhs in delhi and almost and throughout india to be killed at the intigation and guidence of mighty congress leaders.even door darshan tried to intigate and the then pM of india saying that when a big tree falls earth is bound to shake.in a way justifying the inhuman carnage.it is over25 years now not one culprit has been punished sofar.12commissions appointed,persons named by them are given clean chits ?

Is this article politically motivated ?? why is the fellow being referred to as as a sikh journalist of a hindi daily???

God Bless Jarnail Singh for his bravery AND restraint. He did not throw the shoe, just tossed it in disgust. The Indian politicians are disgusting cockroaches. We need reform and revolution in our country.

The Sikhs of the United States stand in solidarity with our brother Jarnail Singh for his strong action in the face of yet more political doublespeak. With the 25 year anniversary of this massacre fast aproaching, it's about time for Congress to come clean about the Anti-Sikh Pogrom of 1984.Jail Tytler and Kumar. And a rain of shoes on those who would prevent justice.

After Iraq and than India, i am sure this will be the world's most favourate way of attacking the corrupt and onesided decisions of people in power. God bless those who stand up but with non violent ways.

journalist did a good job but i think he should have thrown a hand grenade.

The timing of the incident was not correct. These politicians should be shown shoes when the come begging for votes, later to enjoy in luxuries. The incident was no doubt desperate after all the protest for last 25 years appeared to have failed, but is there any other way left when no one is listening (not even esteemed judges). This incident should be seen as an eye opener just like Bhagat Singh did a 'ear opener'.

If a man hurts you, and you hurt him back, it does not eliminate the first evil, it only creates one more evil in the world.May our people develop and maintain an atmosphere of mutual respect! Thanks!!

Its little unfortunate to hit the home minister that too PC with a SHOE but the way CBI toppled the case is bad. Everyone knows that Tytler and Sajjan Singh were 100%involved in that massacre. They should be punished similar to militants

Who is going to be next. All the Politician parties in India have ruined the country. The congress took advantage of everything possible they got. Well I feel now is the time come for all the people of India should wake up and teach these idiot politican a lesson. I won't be surprised if sonia is next.

Chidambaram deserved a bigger and dirtier shoe thrown at him for the disgraceful way in which the Govt. of India has dealt with Pak on the issue of Paki terrorism.

The incident was very unfortunate. Despite lucid explanation by the Home Minister there is no reason for Mr, Jarnail Singh to indulge in an activity he did. While I share his anguish It is unfrotuante that we as country have failed to bring to justice the perpetrators of crimes again and again without a fail. I complement Mr. Chidambram for his dgnified response and composure during the incident.

On the contrary this is the best day for India ...without hurling a bomb we have conveyed our taste and distaste....bravo

This sikh has shamed the Sacrifice all sikhs made for the country. Every Indian children associate sikhs with bravery. Here is a coward sikh who has brought the Sikh community and the Nation INDIA shame. Sikhs are in the Army, Navy, Airforce are known for the valour, strength and bravery. A shameful act like this brings only disgrace to the Nation and some fools in India applaud. What a nation and what a bunch of people, India has..!

It is a shame that the Sikh - who they call a "lion" had to resort to such shameful act; this is lunatic - a minister of stature of PC who has dedicated his life to Indian polity should not be insulted this way; shame on the politicians and commentators who support such acts;

He was a journalist and it is a sad day when see these acts. PC is one of the better person and this only lowers the image of whole community (particularly after so much of support). This is nothing but a copy cat act. Brave are those who are protesting in Delhi. They know fight is hard but not seeking shortcut. This journalist must be made example of and punished to the maximum. There is no place for such acts.We all agree what congress did was wrong but you can always take revenge through votes in democracy.Shame on SGPC and many sikhs community organizations for supporting this. This is what your heros will look like, and this is what your kids will look upto?
