Mumbai:
Two days before the World Cup begins, the Shiv Sena Thursday again
raked up the issue of opposing Pakistani cricketers from playing
in Mumbai or anywhere else in the country.
Senior party leader and former Lok Sabha speaker Manohar Joshi
said that the party's stand on the issue is well known and would
be fully pursued.
"If the Pakistani team reaches the final of the World Cup, Bal
Thackeray will decide over the issue. After getting his signal we
shall do the needful," Joshi said at a media interaction here.
The World Cup finals are scheduled to be held in Mumbai's Wankhede
Stadium April 2.
Though a staunch cricket lover, in the past Thackeray had directed
the party's opposition to Pakistani players, both in Test matches
and One-dayers, as well as in the Indian Premier League.
