Wife Of Pahalgam Attack Victim Slams Cricketers, BCCI Over India-Pak Match

Aishanya Dwivedi, the wife of Pahalgam terror attack victim Shubham Dwivedi, has called for a boycott of the upcoming cricket match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025, scheduled for Sunday.

She urged the people not to watch the match even on television. Speaking to ANI, “I cannot understand this. I urge people to boycott this. Do not go to watch this and do not switch on your TV for this."

She further slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and said that the board is not considerate towards the families of the 26 people who were killed in the terror attack.

“BCCI should not have accepted a match between India and Pakistan…I think BCCI is not sentimental towards those 26 families and the martyrs of the Operation Sindoor," Dwivedi said.

She also questioned the Indian cricket team, claiming that, apart from a few cricketers, no player had called for a boycott of the game. “What are our cricketers doing? It is said that cricketers are nationalists.

“What are our cricketers doing? It is said that cricketers are nationalists. It is viewed as our national game. Except for 1-2 cricket players, nobody stepped forward to say that we should boycott the match against Pakistan. BCCI cannot make them play at gunpoint. They should take a stand for their country. But they are not doing it," she said.

She further raised concern over the match revenue going to Pakistan, and said, “I would like to ask the sponsors and broadcasters if their nationality for those 26 families is finished? What will the revenue from the match be used for? Pakistan will use this just for terrorism. That is a terrorist nation. You will provide them revenue and prepare them to attack us once again."

The Indian government has permitted the team to play against Pakistan in multi-nation tournaments while maintaining the stance of no bilateral series.
