Sena targets Gambhir

Hours after former Team India opener Gautam Gambhir suggested Kashmiri separatist leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq to pack his bags and cross the border to go to Pakistan, the Shiv Sena Sanjay Raut said that had any Indian player refused to play, he would have been hailed.

"Mirwaiz jaise logon ko, aisa kehna ki Pakistan chale jaao, ye kehna bohot aasaan hota hai..agar koi khilaadi kehta ki hum nahi khelenge Pakistan ke saath, toh desh unko sar aankhon par bithata," Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut said.

“A suggestion Mirwaiz Farooq why don't you cross the border? You will get better fireworks (Chinese?), Eid celebs there. I can help you with packing,” wrote Gautam Gambhir on Twitter.
