A slipper was lobbed at BJP leader LK Advani on Thursday, by a former functionary of the saffron party during a public meeting in Madhya Pradesh, but it did not hit him. The slipper was hurled by former Katni district president of BJP Pawas Agarwal, who was aggrieved at the party leadership for being “removed from his post due to groupism within the party,” police said. The incident comes close on the heels of a journalist throwing a shoe at home minister P Chidambaram during a press conference in New Delhi and retired school principal lobbing footwear at Congress candidate in Kurukshetra Navin Jindal during a poll rally.
