January 01, 2017 18:44

A shoe was thrown at Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal by a young man as he was addressing a rally in Haryana's Rohtak.

Following the attack, Kejriwal accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi's supporters for the attack.

"I said Modiji is a coward. Today some Modi supporters hurled a shoe at me. Modiji, we can also do this but our cultural values don't permit us to do this,' Kejriwal tweeted.

This is not the first time that the Delhi Chief Minister has been the target of a shoe attack.
