The Delhi Shiv Sena has threatened to disrupt the proposed One-Day International cricket match between India and Pakistan in the city "at any cost".

It says it would be a "deception" to have sporting links with Islamabad till the time it puts an end to terrorist activities in the country.

Asserting that the people of India will not accept such matches in the name of creating goodwill in the midst of bloodletting on the country's borders, the Sena's Delhi unit president Jai Bhagwan Goyal said, in a statement, "We will not allow the one-day cricket match in Delhi at any cost."

Sena activists had dug the pitch at the Ferozeshah Kotla ground in Delhi on January 6, 1999 ahead of a similar match when Pakistan toured India last time.
