  • While travelling in an open vehicle through the town of Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh today, Rahul Gandhi narrowly dodged a shoe.

    Hari Om Mishra, the shoe-thrower, was apprehended.

    Rahul Gandhi blamed the attack on the BJP and RSS.

    While Mr. Gandhi counts his lucky stars, we take a look at other such incidents.

    Hari Om Mishra's justification

  • Hari Om Mishra justified his attack on Rahul Gandhi, saying, "The Congress has left the country in the dumps in the past 60 years. I have been a journalist for two years and I know what were they doing when they were in power."

  • Perhaps the most famous shoe-throwing incident of our times is the 2008 George W. Bush incident.

    While on a surprise visit to Iraq, President Bush was in a news conference when Iraqi journalist Muntadar al-Zaidi hurled not one, but two shoes at him.

    Reportedly, the President had to duck to avoid getting hit on the face.

    al-Zaidi was immediately apprehended by security.

  • Quote

    al-Zaidi's loving words to George W. Bush

  • Iraqi journalist al-Zaidi hurled the first shoe at George Bush, saying, "This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog!". While throwing the second shoe, al-Zaidi shouted, "This is for the widows and the orphans and all those killed in Iraq".

    Following suit, the chairman of Jindal Steel, Naveen Jindal, BJP veteran L.K. Advani, the then PM Manmohan Singh, Haryana CM Bhupinder Hooda joined the club in 2009.
