"This is entirely an act of 'shameless' persons," Thackeray said reacting to Pakistan Cricket Board officials' statement that the team was ready to play in Mumbai if invited and efforts by few BCCI officials to bring the team to play in India.

"And going by the saying that shameless are always happy and why to snatch their happiness, why only invite Pakistan cricket team, also invite special terrorist team of Pakistan to the country to play a match. They have an open field here," he said in the party mouthpiece Saamna.
