Srinagar: Shoe hurled at Omar during I-Day speech
However, the shoe did not hit the Chief Minister and later the officer was taken into custody.
The officer then raised black flags and shouted slogans as he was being bodily carried out by the security in the stands.
Omar Abdullah took the incident lightly and welcomed it saying he would be happy if people instead of pelting stones, threw shoes.
Omar Abdullah joins Home Minister P Chidambaram, Pakistan President Zardari, former US President George W Bush and Chinese premier Wen Jiabao in facing shoe attack.
