In a statement issued here Stalin said such an act cannot be accepted by anybody in a civilised society.
On Thursday a man threw a slipper at Radhakrishnan who had come to Salem district to pay his last respects to J. Muthukrishnan, a student of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) who allegedly committed suicide on Monday in New Delhi.
Radhakrishnan was addressing the media when a group started raising slogans and a slipper was thrown at him.
The police have taken the culprit into custody.
