Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday condemned the incident where a lawyer attempted to hurl a shoe towards Chief Justice of India B R Gavai in his courtroom in the Supreme Court.

He expressed sadness about the incident not drawing large scale condemnation publicly in the country.

In an unprecedented and shocking incident, an elderly lawyer attempted



to hurl a shoe towards Gavai in his courtroom in the Supreme Court on Monday.

“A person claiming to be a lawyer has attempted to hurl a shoe towards the Chief Justice of India taking the name of a religion. I have condemned it personally, also on behalf of the party. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have also condemned it. Though late our prime minister too has condemned it,” Kharge said.
