Advocate Rakesh Kishore Defends Shoe-Hurling Incident, Alleges Bias Against Sanatan Dharma.

No regret, no sorrow, no repentence!

Suspended Lawyer Rakesh Kishore Speaks Out: “As CJI’s Mocking to Sanatan Dharma Was the Action, Shoe Hurling Was the Reaction.”

Upendra Bharti | HENB | New Delhi | Oct 7, 2025:: Newton’s third law was obviously perceived in the Supreme Court of India. Suspended lawyer Rakesh Kishore, who attempted to hurl a shoe at Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai inside the Supreme Court, has defended his actions, citing the judge’s remarks on Sanatan Dharma as the reason. In an interview with ANI, Kishore said he was “deeply hurt” by the CJI’s comments and accused the judiciary of being biased against Hindu practices. In his remarks, Kishore categorically stated, “As the CJI’s mocking of Sanatan Dharma was the action, shoe hurling was merely the reaction.”

“I was deeply hurt. On September 16th, a PIL was filed by an individual in the chief justice’s court. Justice Gavai completely mocked it. Mockery in the sense that he said, ‘Go pray to the idol, ask the idol to restore its own head,'” Kishore said.

Kishore claimed that the judiciary acts differently when cases involve other communities, not naming the Muslims. “We see that the Chief Justice takes big steps when a case comes up against other communities… In Haldwani, railway land is encroached upon by a specific community. When attempts were made to remove the encroachment, the Supreme Court imposed a stay three years ago, which is still in effect today. Similarly, when the Nupur Sharma case came up, the court said, ‘You have spoiled the atmosphere’. They do all that. That is perfectly fine,” he said.

In his X handle Kishore wrote: “No regret, no sorrow, no repentence!” for his act.

Kishore alleged that the court tends to pass restrictive orders whenever matters related to Hindu traditions are brought up. “Whenever an issue related to our Sanatan Dharma comes up, whether it is Jallikattu, or determining the height of Dahi Handi, or any small or large issue, this Supreme Court continues to pass some kind of order regarding it. I am very sad that they should not be doing this,” he said.

Responding to criticism for targeting the CJI, Kishore said, “The CJI should think that when he is sitting on such a high constitutional post, he should understand the meaning of ‘Milord’ and uphold its dignity… You go to Mauritius and say that the country will not run with a bulldozer. I ask the CJI and those opposing me: Is the bulldozer action by Yogi ji against those who encroached on government property wrong?… I am hurt and will continue to be so.”

Defending himself, Kishore maintained that he had no political or organisational backing and had never been involved in any criminal activity. “Although I am strongly against violence, you must also consider why a non-violent, simple, honest person, who has no case against him till date and doesn’t belong to any group, had to do all this? This is certainly something worth thinking about. I am also just not a layman. I am a M. Sc., PhD., Gold Medalist, and LLB,” he said.

Kishore’s actions have sparked a debate about the role of the judiciary against Sanatan Hindu Dharma and the raections against it. As he said, “I am not fearful. I don’t regret what happened.”
