Former US President Bush, our Home Minister P.Chidambaram and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh all have something in common. Can you guess? Yup, thats right, they all had shoes hurled at them! This Sunday (25 April 2009), a youth hurled a shoe at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at a public meeting. Even as Dr. Singh was addressing the gathering, the young man, who was later found to be Hitesh Chauhan, stood up and flung a shoe towards the dais. It hit on the barricade and fell a few metres inside the "D" security zone, the 50 odd metre gap between the dais and the audience barricade. Security personnel pounced on the youth, pulled him up above the barricade and took him to the Ellisbridge Police Station. On interrogation, he said he was 21, a resident of Bapunagar here and a computer engineering student in the government engineering college in Gandhinagar. His father runs a stationery shop in Bapunagar. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch Abhay Chudasma, the youth said he did it "only for the sake of publicity." He neither had any political affiliations nor belonged to any recession-hit family. He also had no grievances against any particular party or leader. Seeing a string of shoe-throwing incidents on television, he planned to perform such an act and came to the venue specifically for that purpose.
