Hitting out at Anna Hazare for his plans to visit Pakistan, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray today said he should have given a thought to the sentiments of his country as Pakistanis were responsible "for shedding the blood of innocents".

"Be it Anna or anyone else, they should first speak to kin of those killed in the Mumbai and Delhi blasts, before annointing themselves 'Nishan-e-Pakistan'," Thackeray said referring to the highest civilian honour of the neighbouring country that means 'symbol of Pakistan'.
