Sena slams govt for inviting Pak team

The Sena has been vocal in its opposition to allow Pakistani players to play in India since the 80s. The 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai have made the Sena more stringent in its demands to Keep Pakistani players out of the country. The Sena in its edit also lambasted the BCCI and the present cricketing team. Just because playing with those devils ensures monetary windfall the BCCI has behaved like a traitor. Even our cricketers are taking part in this traitorous act, the edit said.

The paper claimed that other than Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev none of the cricketers had voiced their opposition about not playing cricket with the Pakistanis.

The Sena took a swipe at Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde for allowing cricketing ties to resume in the country. We are afraid to say that Shinde has lot the chance to show some spine. By giving the green signal to the series he seems to have offered his services to Pakistan, the paper stated. The Home Ministry on October 30 had cleared Pakistan cricket teams tour of India for a limited-over series beginning December 25.
