Is that all it takes to get our political parties to listen: a shoe thrown at you? If the Congress does decide to keep Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar out of the polls, this could be the beginning of a nationwide shoe-throwing movement. We could even call it ‘Chappals for chors’! Imagine how terrified politicians would be of holding press conferences if they feared a shoe attack each time. Imagine the impact of a Jimmy Choo stiletto! And why stop at shoes—why not rulers (they would be even more aerodynamic)? Seriously friends, perhaps the floodgates have opened on an entirely new form of political protest. So much for bhook hartals. Let’s get with the times.
