Australia team would not be allowed to play in Maharashtra
"We will not allow kangaroo cricketers to play in Mumbai and Maharashtra, till the attacks are stopped on Indians,” he announced in Saamna -- Shiv Sena’s mouthpiece.
Blasting the Indian cricketers, the Shiv Sena chief said that the Indian cricketers did not have self respect and lacked patrotism. “The way they are showing sportsmanship with Australia, is highly condemned,” Thackeray said.
Earlier, Shiv Sena had stopped Pakistani cricketers from playing in Maharashtra and that ban still continues. "Our Shiv Sainiks didn’t allow Pakistani players to play in India to protest against the terrorist attacks by Pakistani militants and firing in Kashmir," Thackeray said.
While banning Australian players, Thackeray specially congratulated superstar Amitabh Bachchan. Big B had refused an award announced by Queen’s Land University in Australia to protest against the attacks on Indians. “I will be very happy, when our cricketers also show spirit like this,” Thackeray said.
