  • Jarnail Singh, now a famous Sikh journalist, was on 7th April 2009 thrust into the limelight when he hurled a shoe at Home Minister, Mr. P. Chidambaram at a press conference. Mr Singh alleges that this was due to Home minister's lack of response to questions that Mr Singh had put to the minister regarding the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) "clean chit" for the Congress leader, Jagdish Tytler in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The fire-storm of national media attention, caused by his moment of anger, resonated with Sikhs around India and the world and caused the Congress Party to question the wisdom of supporting Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar as congress candidates from Lok Sabha 2009 elections. Both were eventually dropped by the party for the 2009 election campaign. After refusing the various rewards offered to him, including a job as a media specialist with the SGPC, Jarnail Singh was shocked to have been sacked from his job with the Hindi daily Dainik Jagran , three months after the incident.
