This not the first time Shiv Sena has shown its anti-Pakistan sentiments. In October last year, Sena activists angry at the book launch of former Pakistani foreign minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri’s book, doused the event organiser with black ink in Mumbai.
In the same month, the activists of Shiv Sena stormed the headquarters of the Indian cricket board in Mumbai, shortly before Indian cricket officials were scheduled to meet their Pakistani counterparts to discuss reviving cricket ties between the two nations.
