The Shiv Sena is trying to flex its political muscle once again. After Ghulam Ali and Sudheendra Kulkarni, the Shiv Sainiks on Monday targeted the BCCI. The party supporters stormed BCCI headquarters to protest against any cricketing ties with Pakistan.
The noisy protests by over a hundred slogan shouting members carrying placards at the Board office during which BCCI President Shashank Manohar was ghearoed forced the cancellation of the much-anticipated talks on Monday between him and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Shaharyar Khan.
Ten Sena workers were arrested on charges of unlawful assembly but were later granted bail.
The talks on the proposed bilateral series have now been rescheduled to be held in Delhi on Tuesday.
Reacting to the incident, BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said, "The government will take a fianl decision on Indo-Pak series. A meeting with PCB chief doesn't mean the series is on. I strongly condemn Shiv Sena's behaviour. This is no way to lodhe protest against something."
