Aishanya Dwivedi, wife of Pahalgam terror attack victim Shubham Dwivedi, has called for a complete boycott of the India-Pakistan Asia Cup match scheduled for Sunday. She urged people not to watch even on television, slamming BCCI for being "not sentimental" toward the 26 families who lost members in the attack. Dwivedi criticized Indian cricketers for not taking a stand, stating only 1-2 players opposed the match. She raised concerns about match revenue potentially funding Pakistani terrorism, questioning sponsors and broadcasters' nationalism. Despite her protests, India will play Pakistan on September 14 in UAE, following the Centre's policy permitting multilateral tournaments while maintaining the bilateral series boycott since Operation Sindoor.
