Advocate Rakesh Kishore’s Explosive Confession: “Why I Threw a Shoe at the Chief Justice!”
The Supreme Court was rocked by a shoe-throwing incident, and now, Advocate Rakesh Kishore is revealing his explosive reasons. He claims the Chief Justice mocked Sanatan Dharma.
NEW DELHI, INDIA – The Supreme Court of India was rocked by an unprecedented act of defiance when Advocate Rakesh Kishore hurled a shoe at Chief Justice BR Gavai. The shocking incident, which sent ripples through the nation, has now been explained by Kishore himself in an explosive confession that has ignited a fierce debate about judicial impartiality, religious sentiment, and the limits of protest. His reasons, he claims, stem from a deep-seated hurt over the alleged mockery of Sanatan Dharma by the highest judicial authority.
The catalyst for Kishore’s drastic action was a petition filed in the Supreme Court a few weeks prior, seeking to restore a beheaded idol of Lord Vishnu in the Jahwari temple. Chief Justice BR Gavai, while rejecting the petition, allegedly made comments that Kishore perceived as deeply disrespectful. “Go and tell your God to do something,” the CJI reportedly said, a remark that Kishore claims was a blatant mockery of a sacred religious matter.
Kishore’s outrage was not just about the dismissal of the petition, but the manner in which it was done. He accused the CJI of a double standard, claiming that Justice Gavai does not speak with such dismissiveness when cases involving other religions or communities arise. He cited examples like the Haldwani encroachment case, where a stay was placed on removing encroachments by a particular community, and the Nupur Sharma issue, where the court criticized her for “ruining the atmosphere.” Kishore argues that while the court imposes restrictions and makes strong statements in these cases, it treats matters related to Sanatan Dharma with disdain.
“I was very hurt that on September 16, someone filed a PIL in the Supreme Court. Justice B.R. Gavai first completely made fun of it,” Kishore stated, his voice filled with conviction. “Whereas we see that this same Chief Justice doesn’t speak this way when cases come up against other religions, against people of other communities—you know who.”
As security personnel escorted him away after the shoe-throwing incident, Kishore’s defiant shouts echoed through the courtroom: “Hindustan will not tolerate mockery of Sanatan Dharma!” This statement has become a rallying cry for many who feel that their religious sentiments are often disregarded.
Countering any assumptions of irrationality, Kishore emphasized his academic credentials: “I am not uneducated either. I have also done an M.Sc, Ph.D., and LL.B. I am also a gold medalist. It’s not like I was drunk or on some pills when I did what I did. There’s nothing like that. It was my reaction to their action. So, you can take it however you want. I am free to say this thing, that I am not fearful of anything. Nor do I have any regret about what happened or what didn’t.”
Kishore’s confession has ignited a firestorm of debate across India. Supporters view him as a brave defender of religious faith, while critics condemn his actions as an attack on the sanctity of the judiciary. The incident underscores the volatile intersection of religious belief, judicial authority, and public sentiment in India.
