A Sikh reporter threw a shoe at the Indian home minister (Mr. Chidambaram) during a news conference after he was angered over the minister's reply to a question. Palaniappan Chidambaram was speaking in Delhi about 1984 riots in which hundreds of Sikhs were killed. Witnesses say the minister appeared unfazed by the attack which was similar to a shoe-throwing attack on former US President Bush in Iraq.
