High drama was witnessed at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters in New Delhi on Monday when a person posing as a journalist tried to attack party general secretary Janardhan Dwivedi with a shoe, apparently miffed over the treatment meted out to Baba Ramdev.
The person, who was carrying an identification as Sunil Kumar of Nav-Sanchar Patrika from Rajasthan, came close to Mr. Dwivedi, removed his shoe and stopped short of hitting him with it.
The middle-aged man, wearing a striped T-shirt, was heard telling Mr. Dwivedi that “you cannot stop us from asking questions.”
I vaguely remember that this is the Second or Third Journo to have indulged in this kind of fetish. While he is not a true representative of the Media Community, I just wonder why they can't come out with some new trick?
