Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Monday said no matter how big an Aussie player in IPL team is, he should be removed till the racist attacks on Indians come to an end.

Thackeray said," “Two things should be done immediately. Captains of Australian companies who have invested in India should be summoned and told that the business atmosphere would not be conducive till the attacks stopped”

"Secondly, Australian players in IPL teams should be removed. Team owners like Vijay Mallya, Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta should display nationalism by doing so," the Sena chief said.

He also greeted the acting legend and his friend Amitabh Bachchan for rejecting the doctorate from the University of Queensland to register his protest over the issue.

He also said that “I am very much happy that Amitabh Bachchan did not stop his protest by just registering words but also conveyed his displeasure to the University of Queensland that the attacks against Indians Down Under was an insult to all his countrymen”.
