Mumbai, May 16: Hours before the crucial IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders, the Shiv Sena on Friday renewed its attack on cricket players from Pakistan in one of the teams.

"They (Pakistanis) are the enemies of the entire nation and we have been opposing their playing here for many years now," Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray told reporters in Mumbai.

When asked about the party's plan of action for the match this time, Thackeray limited himself to saying, "Let the others speak out against them as well."

Over the last two decades, Sena has been opposing Pakistani teams and has indulged in tactics like digging cricket pitches at venues before the match due to which Mumbai has not hosted a single match between arch rivals India and Pakistan for many years now.
