Das also attended the programme and paid homage to those killed in police firing.

Considering the pre-planned protests, heavy security arrangements were made.

People started hurling shoes when the Chief Minister was leaving after paying homage.

Scores of shoes were hurled. However, none of them hit him.

Black flags were shown when Das arrived at the programme venue.

People shouted, "Go back... Go back".
