Attack on Chief Justice: ❌
Insult of Chief Justice: ✅

Has angered every Indian: ❌
Has amused many Indians: ✅

Reprehensible act: ❌
Disrespectful act: ✅

Dear Prime Minister,

(1) It was not an ‘attack’, but an ‘insult’. Even the BBC knows this: “throwing a shoe at someone in public is seen as an act of disrespect and humiliation in India and many other countries”. While I do not support or condone the act, calling an ‘insulting act’ an ‘attack’ is hardly appropriate. An attack is a violent act, intended to cause hurt or physical harm to somebody. This was a non-violent act intended to insult the Chief Justice.

(2) You do not speak for every Indian, so please stop pretending to. Statements like “has angered every Indian” are meaningless. Going by reactions on social media, many Indians are amused that finally, the men used to hearing ‘My Lord’ and ‘Your Honour’ are finally being made to realise that they are accountable humans and not divine arbiters of justice. They are not above criticism and insult. As for me, I am neither angry nor amused. I am indifferent as to me, the incident is as insignificant as the 2009 incident of the journalist Jarnail Singh hurling a shoe at Home Minister P Chidambaram in a press conference.

(3) Again, the act was disrespectful, but not reprehensible. The Chief Justice openly mocked the deities of the majority community which was unnecessary, unbecoming, inappropriate, and disrespectful. Had anybody he similarly mocked the deity of the largest minority, something really reprehensible might have happened by now and the very same liberals who are rallying behind him would have been calling for his impeachment.

Why are you kowtowing to the judiciary, the most inefficient branch of the Government of India today with a pendency of more than 5.3 crore cases? You should have spoken with the Chief Justice when he made the unwelcome remarks about Hindu deities and asked him to be more careful in the future. Remember, it is the voters of the country and not the judges of the judiciary who elected you. Please get your priorities right.
