Hindu Mahasabha's national vice-president
Jaiveer Bharadwaj stated that it is not right play cricket with Bangladesh while 'atrocities' on Hindus continue in the neighbouring country.
The outfit said they although have called for a shutdown in Gwalior on the day of the match there will be no ban on essential commodities.
It remains to be seen if BCCI shifts the match to another city to avoid any potential law and order problems during the match.
