Pakistan seems to be high on Shiv Sena's 'protest' agenda these days. After disrupting Pakistan's former foreign minister Masuri's book launch and attacking ORF chief Sudheendra Kulkarni with ink, the party has again created a ruckus by disrupting Indo-Pakistan cricket meeting on Monday.
Here's what happened:A meeting was scheduled today between Indian and Pakistan cricket board officials but was cancelled soon after more than 200 Shiv Sena workers stormed the Mumbai office of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) at the Wankhede Stadium. Over two dozen protesters from the south Mumbai region were detained by the police, while a few other managed to escape. The workers said that their stand is clear about Pakistan and that they will protest in future too. "Sena will not allow cricket matches with Pakistan in Mumbai," said Pandurang Sakpal, zonal head of Shiv Sena's south Mumbai wing said to a leading daily.
Here's how Twitter users reacted:

Shashank-Shahryar meeting cancelled after Shiv Sena protest. Given events of past few weeks, why was this scheduled in Mumbai in any case?

The real reason is out. Shehryar Khan ate 'beef kababs' in breakfast. #ShivSena #HateMongersShivSena

It's just another amazing coincidence that Shiv Sena boys attack Kasuri's seminar but are perfectly okay with Husain Haqqani's seminar.
