India's far-right political party Shiv Sena has been known to make headlines for its rhetoric against Pakistan, but the radical group has now gone above and beyond any anti-Pakistan sentiments that have ever been expressed before.

Along with protests and showering ink on those seen as supportive of Pakistan, Shiv Sena have announced their objection to Mahira and Fawad Khan’s presence in India, along with any Pakistani cricketer or performer. The only exception being made is child activist Malala Yousufzai.

“Malala is different, she is not a terrorist, she has been fighting terrorism,” a representative from Shiv Sena said.

When reminded that Mahira and Fawad were not terrorists either, the party was quick to clarify that, “We did not ban those two because we think they are terrorists or linked to terrorism. We banned them because of Humsafar”.

“I mean it’s a story about a man who sits by as his wife is thrown out, has his child, and returns to him for help with her health bills, only to find out that he’s a misogynist jerk who could care less. The woman then forgives him in the end and we all find out that it’s his mother who is evil - it is literally the worst drama we have ever seen!” he added.

While outlining Shiv Sena's “feminist political leanings”, the representative said, “We are suffering from so many problems courtesy patriarchy that we honestly don’t need any more from Pakistani actors”.

Mahira is all set to make her debut alongside Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Raees’, while Fawad is working on multiple projects starring some of the best names in Bollywood.

“If Humsafar had shown Mahira giving him the boot and moving on to make something out of her life instead of playing the damsel in distress our reaction would have been different. Unfortunately, this was just one more drama where the women are evil or insane and the man had done no wrong despite it all being his fault!” he lamented.

‘Stop throwing ink yaar’

Meanwhile, anti-Pakistan actor Saif Ali Khan has spoken out against Shiv Sena’s antics.

“I remember the time when I said that I was disappointed in Pakistan and everyone lost their s***, and here they are throwing ink all over the place,” he decried, while talking to media.

Saif appealed to Shiv Sena, “to rein it in or else Pakistan will ban more of our movies. For the love of Bollywood, stop before it’s too late!”
