Angry Shiv Sainik's at BCCI office (Video below) |
Shiv Sena workers on Monday stormed the office of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI),
to protest a scheduled meeting between BCCI chief Shashank Manohar and Pak cricket board head Shahryar Khan.
The attack took place just before Shahryar Khan was scheduled to meet Shashank Manohar. The agenda of the meeting was to discuss the resumption of ties between India and Pakistan, which Shiv Sena opposes tooth and nail.
As an NDTV video below shows, the Shiv Sainiks surrounded Shashank Manohar's table and made their points vehemently with arguments and placards. After staying long enough for the TV cameras to capture the protest, they retreated noisily though peacefully without vandalising the office.
They also did not try to blacken Shashank Manohar's face, a treatment meted out to Sudheendra Kulkarni recently when he had organised the book launch of former Pakistan foreign minister Khurshid Kasuri.
