"Angered Every Indian": PM Modi Speaks To Chief Justice, Condemns Attack On Him
https://c.ndtvimg.com/2025-10/f5pjbpak_gavai_625x300_06_October_25.jpg?downsize=773:435New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Chief Justice of India BR Gavai this evening and condemned the attack on him earlier today in the Supreme Court premises. PM Modi said the attack was utterly condemnable and has "angered every Indian".
"Spoke to Chief Justice of India, Justice BR Gavai Ji. The attack on him earlier today in the Supreme Court premises has angered every Indian. There is no place for such reprehensible acts in our society. It is utterly condemnable," he posted on X.
In a breach of decorum, an elderly lawyer threw a shoe at the Chief Justice during a court proceeding. The shoe did not reach the bench, and the man was caught and escorted out by security personnel present in the court.
Chief Justice Gavai, who was sitting on the bench with Justice K Vinod Chandran, remained unfazed during and after the shocking incident and asked court officials not to get distracted by it.
"Don't get distracted by all this. We are not distracted. These things do not affect me," he told lawyers and continued with the proceedings.
The Prime Minister said that he appreciated the calm displayed by Justice Gavai "in the face of such a situation".
"It highlights his commitment to the values of justice and strengthening the spirit of our Constitution," he said.
