Shameful insult: Mallikarjun Kharge after shoe thrown on CJI Gavai
Congress' Mallikarjun Kharge called the shoe-throwing attack on CJI BR Gavai a "shameful insult" to India's top judge. "Those who violate people's fundamental rights in Sanatan Dharma's name must be educated," he said. The lawyer who threw the shoe said he was deeply hurt by CJI's remark about Lord Vishnu's idol and felt a "joke was made of Sanatan Dharma".
