No remorse: Lawyer unapologetic after trying to throw shoe at CJI Gavai

New Delhi,UPDATED: Oct 7, 2025 12:36 IST

Senior Supreme Court advocate Rakesh Kishore, who attacked Chief Justice of India BR Gavai on Monday, spoke to India Today TV and said he has no remorse for what he did in the courtroom.

"A PIL was filed in the Court of CJI on 16th Sept. The CJI mocked it and said - go and pray to the idol and tell it to restore its own head. When Nupur Sharma's matter came up before the Court, the Court said that she vitiated the atmosphere. When a matter related to our Sanatan Dharma comes up, SC passes such orders. Don't provide relief to the petitioner, but don't mock him either. I was hurt. I was not inebriated; this was my reaction to his action...I am not fearful. I have no remorse of what happened," he said.
