Maintaining his strong opposition to the tour by the Pakistani cricket team to India, Shiv Sena today said it was a matter of "national shame".

"The Pakistan team will be playing matches at Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Bengaluru. At one point or the other, Pak terrorists have attacked these cities," Thackeray said.

"The feet of Pakistani players won't be touching Maharashtra but their tour of these cities is a matter of national shame," he said, in an editorial in party mouthpiece Saamana here.

Thackeray also flayed BCCI, saying "it was betraying the country for sake of money" and our cricketers were part of the betrayal. Referring to Pakistan's role in 26/11 and Parliament attacks, Thackeray said playing against Pak cricketers is an insult to our martyr jawans.
