India, Oct. 27 -- Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray slammed Madhya Pradesh minister Kailash Vijayvargiya's remark on the alleged molestation of two Australian women cricketers in Indore, saying "it is shameful to have such a pathetic mentality" in the government.

Two Australian cricketers, in India for the ICC Women's World Cup, were allegedly 'inappropriately touched' by a man who followed them on his bike while they were returning to their hotel from a cafe on the night of October 23. The accused was arrested after a case was registered at the MIG road police station.

Reacting to the incident, senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh minister Kailas Vijayvargiya said the Australian women cricketers "should have been more careful"....
