Calls to boycott the India-Pakistan Asia Cup match have grown louder after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. Veterans, actors, journalists, and political leaders urged people to avoid watching the game in Dubai. Many said playing against Pakistan dishonors victims of terrorism. Hashtags like #BoycottIndvsPak trended on social media. Actor Satish Shah asked fans to “switch off the TV,” while veterans called for an “empty stadium.” EaseMyTrip withdrew sponsorship in July, saying it cannot support ties with Pakistan. Despite India’s Olympic hopes, ticket sales remain poor, with expensive VIP seats still unsold. (PC: India Today)
