PIL filed against IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2025 match
According to the petition filed for India to play Pakistan after the Phalagam terror attack that alleged 26 lives was a message that compromised national sentiment and dignity. The Pahalgam attack happened on 22 April 2025 and just after some day on 7th May, India launched Operation Sindoor and demolished many terror camps across the border. Due to this it led to military escalations on both sides of border.

According to plea “Cricket between nations is meant to show harmony and friendship But after the Phalagam Terror Attack and Operation Sindoor, when our people died and our soldiers risked everything, playing with Pakistan sent the opposite message that while our soldiers sacrificed their lives, we are celebrating sports with the same country sheltering terrorists,”
“It can also hurt the sentiments of the families of the victims who lost their lives in the hand of the Pakistani terrorists. The dignity of nation and security of citizens come before entertainment,” it added.
