Shiv Sena activists stormed into the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) office on Monday to protest against the meeting with the Pakistan Cricket board to discuss the India-Pakistan bilateral series slated for December.
Around 40 to 50 members of the Shiv Sena stormed into Wankhede stadium in Mumbai, shouting slogans against Pakistan.
Sena workers also "gheraoed" Chief Shashank Manohar protesting against PCB Chief Shaharyar Khan and said, "We will not allow any cricket ties with Pakistan".
Sena workers were carrying saffron flags of shiv sena and black flags to condemn resumption of Indo-Pak cricketing ties.
However, protesting workers were later taken away by police.
