Outrage is growing over India playing Pakistan in the Asia Cup after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. Veterans, celebrities, and political leaders are urging a boycott of Sunday’s match in Dubai. Many say playing cricket with Pakistan dishonours the 26 lives lost in the attack. Hashtags like #BoycottIndvsPak are trending, and some sponsors have already pulled out. Ticket sales for the match remain low, with expensive seats unsold. While some argue sports should continue, most voices demand no cricket with Pakistan. Experts warn boycotts may affect India’s Olympic bid, but emotions remain strong against the game.
