> Kaif house attacked by protesters

A group of people, claiming to be supporters of the Lok Janshakti Party, on Monday vandalised the house of cricketer Mohammad Kaif after his poor show in the ongoing One-day series against South Africa.

Kaif scored 8 and 10 in the two One-dayers against South Africa who drubbed India in both the matches, leading to strong criticism back home.

"A number of them tried to storm the house, broke some electric bulbs and plastered the name plate with mud," police said.

"They also raised slogans against BCCI Chief Sharad Pawar for persisting with Greg Chappell as the coach of the Indian team and burnt their effigies," they added.

Police said the protesters, who appeared to be well-known to some TV channel reporters, were persuaded not to go inside Kaif's house but only to burn the effigies.

They were chased away by the police party which arrived on the spot. Nobody except servants were present at Kaif's house during the protest as his parents live in their ancestral house in another part of the city.

Fickleness of public perception of its local heroes is evident from the fact that people had twice last year protested against non-inclusion of Kaif in the Indian team and burnt effigies of the captain and selectors.

Indiatimes

Just proves mad men exist in the society....

Well if they are up to the task then maybe they should play for India instead of living vicariously thru' the Indian Players.

So what if he sucked - if you want to raise slogans then raise it where he can hear/see you - why go to his house.

That is plain dumb - why destroy the peace of his family members is beyond me.

Idiots

Loll.....dis is rlly dumb ..... I mean those men shud not be attacking somebody's familes but the Player themselves ..... better wud be if one suicide bomber is sent to South africa to settle issues with chappal once nd for all
